An unfortunate incident took place today at GMC Handwara, where some unidentified individuals, allegedly acting on the directions of the Medical Superintendent, Mr. Aijaz Ahmad, attempted to steal and illegally shift the hospital's X-ray machine to an undisclosed location.
Thanks to the timely intervention of local residents and hospital guards, the vehicle was intercepted on the spot and the diagnostic equipment was recovered. The incident caused a major commotion and even led to a physical scuffle at the premises.
The Principal of GMC Handwara has already spoken to the concerned police officials and urged them to immediately file an FIR against those involved.
We earnestly request the Hon’ble Health Minister, Sakina Itoo Sahiba, Commissioner Secretary Mr. Aabid Rashid Sahib, and the Jammu & Kashmir Police to take immediate cognizance of this serious matter. A thorough investigation must be initiated, and the culprits must be brought to justice without delay.
A formal FIR should be registered against all those involved, and the strictest possible action must be taken under law.
