Row over shifting of ESI dispensary
Ludhiana, September 5 According to affected card holders of the said dispensary, the ESI authorities had shifted dispensary No. 4 to an industrial unit located in Jodhan village to facilitate the factory workers whereas nearly 10,000 other workers, attached to this dispensary, would have to travel all the way to Jodhan village, which was practically impossible, particularly in cases of medical emergency. Those availing medical facilities from this dispensary since 1978 further alleged that the government had taken this unwarranted decision under pressure from the factory owner, whose workers had to come to the city to seek treatment for various health problems. The card holders of the dispensary claimed that for a small number of workers of this particular industrial units, thousands of other local workers were made to suffer. A large number of industrial and transport workers, attached to ESI dispensary No. 4, were of the view that if at all, the authorities should have shifted another ESI dispensary in the city which was catering to just about 1,500 workers and where the number of OPD patients was also nominal. Taking strong exception to the unjust and discriminatory move of the government, the activists of the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) has called upon the government to scrap the decision of shifting the dispensary from its present location in the larger interest of the workers. The CITU further threatened to launch an agitation if the government went ahead with the shifting which, it remarked, would affect thousands of workers and would amount to denial of medical facilities that they were entitled to. Scores of local business houses and industrial establishments covered under the ESI provisions, have also asked the government to review its decision since forcing the workers to travel to Jodhan for routine medical facilities would be a gross injustice to them.
