Imphal, May 13 2011:
The Chingai Village Development Committee (VDC) has taken strong exception towards the alleged continued negligence on the part of the State Government to address the various issues and problems being faced by the people of Chingai sub-divisional headquarters of Ukhrul district.
In a statement, chairman of the VDC Ruivah Somingam pointed out that the PHC located at the district headquarters in is in complete disarray.
Due to poor road communication and financial problems, people from far flung villages come for treatment or health check up at the PHC.
However, beside non-availability of the MO in-charge, the PHC staff have always come up with excuses that there is no medicine in the stock of the PHC, Somingam said, adding that this startling fact came to light when the VDC along with Youth Club made a surprise inspection on May 7.During the inspection, a huge consignment of expired medicine stocks were discovered and learnt that the staff of the PHC have not indented any stock for a long time, the chairman disclosed, while calling upon the authorities concerned for immediate intervention.
