large number of students belonging to National Student Union of India, (NSUI) begged from people as a sign of protest against the referring of security personnel suffering from Malaria in Bastar to a hospital in Raipur due to lack of proper medical facilities at the Maharani Hospital in Jagdalpur.
The NSUI activists carried begging boxes with them and collected money from people to symbolically draw attention of the State Government towards the lack of various amenities at the Maharani Hospital in Jagdalpur.
According to Aditya Singh Bisen, NSUI, District, due to improper medical facilities at the hospital, the ill security personnel are being referred to a hospital in Raipur.
Warning of an agitation in support of their demand of developing Maharani Hospital into a ‘Super Specialiy Hospital’, the activists said that the collected money will be given to Chief Minister Raman Singh so that he could provide better health facilities at the hospital.
