Phom Students’ Conference (PSC) Tuesday has served 24-hour deadline on commissioner and secretary Health and Family Welfare (H&FW) seeking clarification in written on the “shameless” comment made by him towards PSC.
According to PSC president Hongkam Phom and general secretary Longchem Phom, the countdown begins from 00:00 hours of April 12.
PSC claimed that the officer made the comment, when they approached him at his office chamber on April 10, a day after the expiry of the 15-deadline (final memorandum) served on the commissioner and secretary H&FW on March 24. The student body stated that on the expiry of the deadline, they approached the commissioner and secretary with a “sound intention and in order to avoid any confrontation with the government”. However, the response and behavior of the commissioner and secretary were “pathetic and unbecoming”. They also condemned the “vicious comment from the highly respectable officer in the rank of Commissioner and Secretary instead of solving the matter in a reciprocal/mutual understanding”. Therefore, PSC cautioned that it would initiate strict action in the event of failure to respond at the given time.
Serves 7-day ultimatum to H&FW
PSC has further served seven-day “Open Ultimatum” starting April 12, on the government and H& FW department to fulfill its 7-point demands mentioned in the March 24 final representation. PSC cautioned that in the event the demand was not met within the stipulated time, it would take its own course of action.
The demands are: separate transformer to run the machineries 24/7 as most of the machineries/equipments kept unused due to lack of power supply; immediate appointment of regular General Duty Medical Officer (GDMO), appointment of full fledges Medical Superintendent at District Hospital Longleng as the present MS is attach at Directorate; construction of separate building for diagnostic center with well installment facilities of X-ray, Ultrasound, CT scan and laboratory services; posting of nursing superintendent and assistant nursing superintendent; installing of blood storage unit and immediate appointment of medicine specialist, pediatric and surgeon in the District Hospital, Longleng.
