AGARTALA, May 9 (TIWN): Resentment brewed up at the premises of State referral GB Hospital on Monday when power disruption hit the hospital for more than hours.State referral GB Hospital on Monday suffered power disruption for at least more than one hour at its premises, with the patients and their families facing acute discomfort. At the peak hour of noon there was no electricity at Agartala GB hospital. During the power crisis the major departments of the hospital, like OT, Blood Bank, Gynecology department, surgical ward, etc remained paralyzed. However, such a worst condition reflects the paralyzed condition of the administration and the Health Minister. Despite of several tall claims by the authority to provide better health service to people of the State, people face negligence in major referral Hospital of the State, GB Hospital. Carelessness attitude of the Doctors and Staff in the Hospital risks the life of the people under the Manik’s Golden era.

Reportedly, hit with power disruption for more than hours the patient’s family’s gheroued the authority and got engaged into scuffle.The scenario at emergency ward speaks volumes about the gravity of the situation.

Allegedly either it is due to the lack of infrastructure or the negligence of the Hospital staffs or the doctors, the patients continue to suffer at the major referral GB hospital of the State.

However, almost all the government run hospital are hit with the negligence from the end of the government. Some hospital lacks infrastructure, some lacks Doctors and some faces trouble due to the irregularity of the staff and proper treatment.

Allegation has been raised by the patient party that recently after being referred to the GB Hospital, they had to wait for nearly 30 minutes for the staff to bring stretcher. When the family members of the patients found no one came with the stretcher, they themselves took the patient to the hospital.

 Due to paucity of adequate space, patients on stretchers can be seen lined up on both sides of the corridors.

However, bad odour is almost identical with government hospitals. Waste materials strewn all around, crowded wards and waiting rooms are a grim reminder of the unhygienic condition of our health institutions.

The situation, however, has not improved at the emergency ward during the last few years as far as arrangements are concerned. Stinking ward and untidy beds have become a common sight.

When the entire state is hit with frequent power crisis, TSECL authority’s claims that Tripura is now a shedding free state and the power plants in Tripura are supporting well. Blackouts are a frequent occurrence in many interior part of the state because of a shortage of power and an antiquated electricity grid.
