LARGE NUMBER of patients admitted at Sir Sunderlal Hospital of Banaras Hindu University had to face enormous difficulties as the pharmaceuticals traders of Lanka area observed complete bandh today in protest against the opening of a medicine shop on the hospital promises on Sunday. The pharmaceutical traders under the banner of Lanka Dava Vyavasayi Sangh shut down their shops against opening of the medicine shop. Attendants of patients were seen running from pillar to post to get the required medicines as around 150 pharmaceutical shops remained closed today.
It was observed that opening of the medicine shop would leave thousands of youths unemployed. Sangh office bearers also observed that opening of a medicine shop on the hospital campus was against government norms.
President of the Sangh, Rajendra Agarwal, and other office bearers including Vinshnu Gupta, Subhash Sonekar, Dinesh Tiwari, Manpreet Singh and Shobhu Sonekar threatened the BHU administration to launch a massive agitation in case the shop was opened.
