After the son of a deceased person, who had applied to get his father’s death certificate from a local hospital, failed get the document, he lodged a complaint with the police. later, of course, he was issued the certificate.
Adikanda Das, a resident of Naranpur under Ayeba panchayat of Kendrapara block, had died on October 7, 2000. Though, 14 years passed to the death of Adikanda, but his son did not apply to get the death certificate. On September 15 last, however, Nanu Charan Das, the only son of deceased Adikanda, had filed a case before the Tehsildar of Kendrapara and later submitted the case order at Indupur PHC.
But surprisingly, when he went to collect the certificate, he came to know that another person had collected it from the Indupur hospital on September 19. As a result, when he protested against the callous attitude of the hospital authority, the latter on September 26 issued him the death certificate of his father.
Meanwhile, Das filed a petition before the SP of Kendrapara urging to conduct an inquiry into the scam at the Indupur hospital and take all the culprits to task.
