Srinagar, Sept 3: Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) today condemned the alleged beating of an ambulance driver by police at Barthana locality of Qamarwari area here.
Expressing outrage, the DAK president, Dr Nisar-ul-Hassan said that such acts against medical staff by men in uniform are unacceptable. “This act of hooliganism by defenders of law against healthcare workers while discharging their duties is shameful,” he said.
Dr Nisar said that this pattern of atrocities against medical staff has become a new routine. “Medical personnel are not allowed to go for their duties and they face intimidation on regular basis. This systematic denial of care to sick and wounded is gross human rights violation,” he said.
The DAK president said that it is ironical that those who are supposed to protect have unleashed a reign of terror and subjugation against doctors and paramedical staff. “Doctors and paramedics put in their blood and sweat to save sick and wounded and they are rewarded with abuses”, he added.
