Dhamtari. Reaching the district hospital with liquor, ganja and gutka is not a new thing for the patient and his relatives. All this was going on openly, but now after months when security guards were deployed here and investigation was started, then this truth is coming out. Now strict action is being taken against such drug addicts.
During the investigation on Friday, the security in-charge seized ganja from the pocket of a patient's relative and informed the district hospital management so that appropriate action can be taken.
Even before this, the security guards had taken the initiative to make the district hospital a drug-free place by running a campaign against gutka and tobacco.
Gutka wrapper, red colored dirt due to spitting and Gudakhu box can be easily seen near the windows of many other wards including male and female wards of the district hospital.
When you enter the toilet, you also find liquor bottles. Some patients and their relatives consume alcohol in the toilet itself. Other patients and their relatives are very upset due to this filth, they were waiting for security guards to be deployed in the district hospital.
Months later, in addition to CCTV cameras, security guards have been deployed in the district hospital for security, and the examination of patients and their relatives has started before entering the hospital. During the examination, ganja, tobacco, gutkha, beedi and cigarettes are coming out of the pockets of many drug addicts, which are being confiscated.
Many women who come for delivery along with pregnant women bring Gudaku and Gutka hidden in their bags. These women are not able to be examined, hence Gudakhu boxes remain lying in the toilet window of the maternity ward and at many other places.
In such a situation, these women should also be examined before entry, so that the toilets and windows of the hospital remain safe. District Hospital Advisor Girish Kashyap said that some people in an intoxicated state vandalized the toilet of the new hospital building.
At the same time, if caught with intoxicants, such people are handed over to the hospital, police post or are fined.
The investigation operation has been extended. He has appealed to the patient and his relatives not to bring any kind of intoxicant to the district hospital, so that they can avoid action.
