AAP corners govt for being insensitive to corona patients
Chandigarh, July 23 (wishavwarta):-Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) senior leader and Leader of Opposition (LoP) Harpal Singh Cheema, expressing his grave concern over the rundown condition of Covid-19 care centers set up by the government for corona patients in the state, said that due to incompetence and inept handling of the situation, the government-run Corona care centers were for more contagious than the coronavirus.
In a statement issued from party headquarters in Chandigarh on Thursday, Cheema said the corona care centers set up by the government in various districts of Punjab, including Bathinda, Bhikhi (Mansa), Sanghera (Barnala) were in a pitiable condition, where doctors and paramedical staff were fighting the big battle against the epidemic without essential safety kits, adding that doctors were not able to provide adequate medicines and medicare to the patients there. He said that the patients suffering from other than corona-related ailments were suffering due to acute shortage of medicines at these government centers, which was a bigger worry, he said.
The LoP added that the patients were suffering for want of poor arrangements, including hygiene. Reiterating the mishandling the case of Bhai Nirmal Singh, a highly decorated former ragi at a Amritsar Hospital, and now the spike in number of patients at Bathinda Care Center had proven beyond doubt that Punjab government had failed to learn any lessons to deal with the problem on the ground. He said that, instead of cracking whip on the people of the state under the guise of the Corona, he needed to take due care of the Corona patients, by ramping up the basic arrangements and amenities.
Cheema said that the Captain Government should take a cue from the Kejriwal Government in Delhi as to how diligently and committedly the government there, including the Chief Minister himself and the Health Minister had to work tirelessly to take on the calamity holding the globe to ransom. Taking a pot shot at the Chief Minister Capt. Amarinder Singh, Cheema said that he (Capt) should come out of the cosy confines and face the ground realities.
