Patients in Himachal suffer as doctor’s strike

Shimla:  Patient care in over 700 government hospitals and dispensaries in Himachal Pradesh was again hit on Friday as more than 3,000 doctors went on strike for two hours. However, emergency services worked in the state’s major hospitals. The strike followed the Himachal Pradesh Medical Officers Association’s call for mass casual leave for a day on January 23 over its demands, including safety of doctors and pay parity. Patients at the Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital in Shimla and the Rajendra Prasad Medical College at Tanda town in Kangra district were worst hit as even resident doctors joined the strike.

Association president J.N. Chauhan said they had already given a notice to the government over their strike. “We met the Chief Minister recently and apprised him about demands. The government doesn’t seem to be positive towards our demands. We have no option but to continue with the protest,” he said. Chauhan said the doctors would continue till February 12 and if the demands were not met, they would again go on a mass casual leave. The association has claimed that a doctor after facing humiliation from politically connected people in a hospital in Una suffered a heart attack.

Congress legislator Bambar Thakur is also accused of misbehaving with a government doctor last December over issuing a differently-abled certificate. Health and Family Welfare Minister Kaul Singh said the government was bringing a bill in the ensuing budget session to ensure safety of the doctors. “We are going to make assault on the doctors on duty a non-bailable offence,” he said.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
