New Delhi, May 11
The Health Centre at Kanjhawla run by the MCD does not have a professional chemist and because of this patients have been given wrong medicines, Mr. Tara Chand, Block President of Outer Delhi Unit of Babu Jagjeevan Ram Akhil Bhartiya Samta Andolan, alleged today.

Mr Tara Chand said that the health centre, which caters to the needs of thousands of residents of the area, was ill equipped and the personnel posted over there for more than two decades at a stretch had developed vested interests.

Demanding an inquiry into the affairs of the health centre, Mr Tara Chand said that repeated complaints to the MCD top brass had yielded no result. He also demanded that the staff members who had been post for so many years at Kanjhawla Health centre should be transferred and new personnel should be posted there to streamline the work.
