On the assurance of Koderma MP Dr. Ravindra Rai, Kendriya Aspatal Bachao Sangharsh Samiti headed by its president Suresh Yadav along with other members of the committee ended the protest that was going on for the last five days, on Friday.
The samiti was staging the protest on the premises of the Central Hospital Karma against its mismanagement. The committee was protesting since August 25, and was demanding better medical services at the hospital whose infrastructure problems were being ignored by the government. The protesting committee submitted a memorandum to Dr. Rai, Member of Parliament.
The MP visited the hospital and inquired about the management of the hospital. He also met AK Sinha, Deputy Welfare Commissioner, Dr. Birendra Kumar, CMO and other doctors of the hospital and enquired about the current status of the hospital. Alternative arrangements should be made to run the hospital properly and smoothly, said Rai. Addressing the protesters, Rai said that the Central labour Minister Tomar has taken initiatives for the hospital’s betterment and has announced to renovate the hospital. He also told that the centre is serious about the health sector also and the hospital will work actively for the locals soon.
Notably, the Central Hospital Karma was inaugurated by the then Union labour Minister Babu Jagjiwan Ram in the year 1952, especially for the mica workers of the area as a large number of mica mines were functioning in the area.
