ABOUT 30 Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) activists created a ruckus at the Moti Lal Nehru District (Colvin) Hospital, on Thursday.
They were angry about non-availability of an injection at the hospital. The activists gheraoed the chief medical superintendent and raised slogans, causing inconvenience to patients.
Trouble began when an LJP activist came to the OPD, demanding medicines and injections.
“He was suffering from some minor injury and the doctor properly attended him.
He was asked to get a tetanus shot from outside. But instead, he came back with at least 30 other LJP activists and they started shouting slogans,” said Dr SJ Singh, chief medical superintendent of Colvin Hospital. Dr Singh claimed that the tetanus injection was available at the hospital. “But since it was stored in the refrigerator, the doctor asked the activist to get the injection from outside,” he added.
One more dengue case
ONE MORE patient tested positive for dengue, on Thursday.
According to the Malaria Department reports, Shiva Kesarwani (35), resident of Babaji Ki Bagia, near St Anthony School, tested positive for dengue at the Microbiology Department.
Meanwhile, a patient suspected to be suffering from the disease was admitted to the Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital.
“The department has decided to conduct fogging in Babaji Ki Bagia. A test will be conducted on the suspected dengue patient admitted to the SRN Hospital,” said Dr RB Singh, additional chief medical officer (Vector Borne Diseases).
Dr Singh said the number of dengue cases had significantly come down in the past three days.
