Imphal, April 18 2013:
The Anal Students' Forum, Manipur has highlighted that the people of Chandel district have been aggrieved due to negligence on the part of the concerned authority especially in regard to health insitutions.
A statement issued by ASF Manipur pointed out that staff under NRHM Chandel do not receive their pay since January 2013 besides delaying the payment of a one year arrear to the staff.
Pathetic condition of District Mobile Medical Unit ambulance, non-release of 2nd instalment of fund to all blocks under NRHM in the district, non-functioning of 50-bedded hospital, pathetic condition of road leading to District Hospital, non-availability of specialist doctors in the district hospital, and absence of permanent CMO are the grievances highlighted by the students' forum.
It also urged the authority concerned to provide proper facilities to the Chakpikarong CHC as per the standard prescribed by the Indian Public Health Standard (IPHS) .
