Srinagar, Jan 5: Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) today expressed its displeasure towards administration for not making the roads accessible leading towards hospitals.
In a statement issued in the evening, Dr Suhail Naik said that it was said to see that the roads leading to hospitals and health centres are not cleared of snow which makes it difficult for doctors and our medical staff to reach to their place of duties
He also expressed displeasure on the suspension of a medico at Primary Health Centre, Chiram, block Bijbehara by district administration Anantnag and said that the medico could not reach on time due to roads that were blocked due to snow.
“Though the medico had left early morning from his residence but could not reach on time as the roads were not cleared of snow. It is shame that the road leading to that PHC was not cleared of snow up to 4:00 PM today and the district administration has failed in performing its duties during this hour of crisis,” he said.
He said that DAK is receiving continuous calls from doctors who are facing difficulty in reaching hospitals due to the non-clearance of snow from the roads “and the administration wants to hide its failure by passing the buck.”
DAK has urged Lieutenant Governor to look into the matter and as to why there was lackadaisical approach by the concerned authorities in clearing the roads which created a lot of difficulties for the both, doctors and patients in reaching the hospital.
