Mohali, August 11

Mr Amrik Singh said he got injured on August 8 and went to the dispensary for a dressing. When he went to get the dressing changed today he was allegedly not attended to by the staff present.

He said four staff members were having food at 11.30 am. The doctor was not present at that time. He said he waited for sometime but was shocked to find out that a Class IV employee was sent to do the dressing.
