Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Feb 1: The health department has failed to fulfill its commitment of creating sub-units in the Central Kashmir's Budgam district. The orders for the creation of these health centres were issued before the floods, but despite passing of around five months the department has failed to deliver.
The health department had ordered for the creation of 44 sub-units in the Budgam district but as of now only 11 are operational. The dreams of the people that the health facilities will be provided to them at their doorsteps has so for been only a dream for them.
"Flood was no excuse as far as the drug scams are concerned, be it the drug scam or the recruitment scam in the education department for the class IV posts, but when the authorities are expected to the needful then they produce many excuses," said Khazir Mohammad from Khag Beerwah.
Khazir said that one such sub-unit was meant for the Chak Nasarpora but some influential are trying their level best to shift this sub-unit to some other village of the area. This issue is said to have been brought into the notice of the Chief Medical Officer of Budgam who has clarified that the sub-unit will sanctioned to the first name only and the question of shifting it does not arise. The sources in the health department say that the creation of these sub-units got delayed because of the fact that the Model Code of Conduct was in force in the state and also because of the fact that there is the dearth of man power.
Meanwhile reports have come in that the doctors who are working in the far flung areas under the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) are without salaries from April last year.
NRHM was launched in the country along with the state of Jammu and Kashmir with an aim to provide the better health facilities more importantly to the people living in the far flung areas.
To get over the staff dearth in the far flung areas, the government ensured that the doctors working there will be given attractive salaries, but these doctors denied that haven't received their basic salary not to talk of the perks and allowances.
One such doctor namely Javaid Ahmad, who talked to Early Times over the phone said, "If the government continues to treat the doctors working under NRHM with apathy, then nobody will be ready to work in the far flung areas. It is quite painful that the doctors are without the salaries for the last nine months or so". |
