Agartala | Thursday | 13th April, 2017

Summary:

"We don't understand why it was that only a small unit of such a hospital was affected and all the patients shifted to AGMC. "The doctors and staff of the hospital initially objected to the presence of the photo journalists and violently attacked them. Two camerapersons of a local channel were manhandled and three cameras were destroyed," Animesh Sharma , a victim, alleged.Agartala Govt Medical College (AGMC) authorities accommodated the patients referred from IGM. "The 36-bed gynaecology department has been managing more than 60 patients with insufficient manpower in AGMC for the last few years. But in AGMC, now patients are lying on the floor with labour pain, as the number of doctors and infrastructure here are insufficient," alleged another doctor of the department..
