Hamirpur, 22 July (HS). On Monday, CMO sealed a hospital running in the town. The testing machines of a pathology running there were confiscated. This created a ruckus among the pathology operators in the town. Most of the pathology operators closed their pathology and fled.
CMO Geetam Singh went to a hospital named KMC located at the main bus stand of Kurara town in the afternoon and asked for the documents but sealed the hospital on not finding the documents. He went to the Krishna Pathology located near the Beri trisection of the town and when he asked for the renewal papers, when the operator showed the photocopies of the file for renewal, he did not agree and got the CBC machine, X-ray machine, microscope, telescope, blood mixture machine etc. loaded in an e-rickshaw from the pathology and took them with him. During the proceedings, CMO Geetam Singh did not even get down from his car and conducted the entire proceedings sitting there.
CHC in-charge Sunil Jaiswal loaded all the machines in an e-rickshaw and took them with him. Pathology operator Naresh Vishwakarma said that his registration is there for more than 10 years. There are about half a dozen illegal pathology labs in the town, which are being run by agents of the CMO office. My file for renewal of registration this year is lying in the CMO office since March. The CMO himself is not renewing it.
