EARLY TIMES REPORT

RAJOURI, Feb 12: The slackness on the part of the Health Department as well as the local administration can be gauged from the fact that the building of Urban Health Centre (UHC) Rajouri has been crumbling and is being run temporarily in a portion of community hall in the town.
Sources told Early Times that the Urban Health Centre, which is situated in Rajouri Town Hall, and cater to the services of Gurdan, Dasal, Thandikasi and Rajouri town areas comprising of population of thousands, had been running in two rooms building for several years and the condition of the building has become very bad and the plaster of the wall as well as the roof has continuously been crumbling due to which there is total unhygienic condition in and around the building.
“The UHC was shifted into a portion of community hall in the town on temporary basis after its own building turned unsafe. The shift was carried out on the direction of the then DDC Rajouri Dr Shahid Iqbal Choudhary and it was decided that a new building will be constructed on new place,” the sources said, adding that it has been several years since the health centre has been shifted but neither a piece of land has been identified by the department nor the district administration intervened into matter to make arrangement for land.
Astonishingly, the old building has been lying in dilapidated condition and even no repair work has been done so that it might be used for its functioning, they added. The doctors as well as the entire staff of health centre including Dr Javed Sarwar Shah, Ujwal Sharma Lab Technician, Bipul Anand Health Inspector said that they had to face lot of inconveniences to run the functioning of centre due to lack of space where immunization and laboratory tests are done in one room.
Although the Health Centre has been taken under the GMC Rajouri which has now converted it into Urban Health and Training Centre Associated Hospital GMC Rajouri block Manjakote, they said. The locals have to face several problems in getting primary health facilities.
When Early Times contacted the BMO Manjakote Dr Mehmood, said that they had taken up the matter with the higher authority and they had also asked the councilors to help the department to find a piece of land for a new building. The local residents have appealed to the DDC Rajouri Rajesh Kumar Shavan for his personal intervention so that the poor might be benefited.
