Imphal, June 23 2016:
Staff of the Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PMR), RIMS expressed dissatisfaction on the misleading clarification made by K Meghachandra, MLA of Wangkhem A/C.A press release issued by Dr AK Joy Singh, Head of Deptt of PMR, RIMS clarified that the MLA visited the Department around 9.30 pm, not 8.30 pm as reported.
Calling bell kept outside the PMR gate was used by the RIMS security on duty at 9.35 pm to inform staff on duty at PMR ward.
Y Shamu Singh, the patient was called up simultaneously by a person accompanying the MLA and he also responded that it was not visiting hour.
Then Shamu reported presence of the MLA at the PMR gate to the staff on duty.
The Nurse on duty immediately contacted Dr Nilachandra at 9.40 pm and on his advice, K Meghachandra was allowed to meet the patient at 9.45 pm.
Before going back, he called out the nursing staff and attendant on duty outside the gate, physically assaulted them and left after kicking the shutter gate of the ward.
The whole episode was witnessed by two patient parties and the security staff on duty.
Shamu was discharged from PMR ward because he was fit for discharge and to avoid conflict, the statement added.
The staff of the Department strongly condemn the unbecoming behaviour of a public leader breaking rules when they are supposed to uphold them.
