Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Feb 6: Despite the passing of five months after the flood the authorities are yet to restore the damaged infrastructure in the health sector and the Government Medical College, Srinagar is no exception to this disturbing situation.
The enthusiasm on part of the authorities to bring on track the functioning of Government Medical College, Srinagar is missing. The interior of the college which was deluged has still a foul smell to offer. Some of the students said that their classrooms are too damp and the authorities have taken no worthwhile step for drying of the same.
"The Medical College is of great significance given the fact that it produced doctors who have a social service to offer. Five months have passed since the flood struck the college. But the college is still not in a position to provide an atmosphere, required for the taking up the classes," said a group of MBBS students.
The students said that given the very awkward smell students prefer to remain out of the class rooms as it poses a serious threat to their health. They asked when the people on their own have managed to set business centres and private schools in order then, why the government has failed to bring the prestigious college on track.
The students of the college say that the authorities are waiting for the things to improve automatically as they have failed to procure the latest means of technology which would have been effective and economical as well.
"Instead of going for the innovative measures the authorities at the GMC Srinagar have left the job of drying the walls of the classrooms to the ceiling fans which is proving ineffective. If the authorities don't act now, things will be tougher for the students given fact that the hot season is approaching nearer," said the students.
The students opined that High Court should also monitor the post flood situation of the government establishments more so of the education related ones. They added that they can't enter the classes which have been undone by the floods.
GMC Srinagar, Principal, Dr. Rafiq Ahmad Pampori dismissed the assertions of the students and said that it is not true that the classrooms of the college are not in hygienic condition. He also dismissed the allegations that the job of drying of the walls has been left to the ceiling fans. He claimed that all the repairs to facilitate the smooth functioning of the classes have been carried out. |
