Rampal’s presence at Panchkula General Hospital Hina Rohtaki Tribune News Service
Panchkula, November 20 After his arrest at Satlok Ashram, Hisar, Rampal was brought to the General Hospital here at 12.47 am today. Though he was kept in a special room in a corner that led to the general ward on the third floor, patients and their attendants had a tough time, particularly in the morning hours. The paediatrics OPD in the same lane on the third floor was shifted to the Sick Newborn Care Unit (SNCU) on the second floor. Unaware that the OPD had been shifted, patients gathered there and were seen making enquiries, leading to a chaotic situation. The OPD starts at 9 am. Rampal was taken to the police station in Sector 5 at 11 am. “Since the OPD had been shifted, at least they could have guided us to the new place. Our newborn was unwell and I couldn’t see anyone there except a huge police force,” said the infant’s father on condition of anonymity. He said, “With great difficulty, I finally managed to locate the doctor on the other floor.” “I have been shuttling from one room to the other in search of the room where the OPD has been shifted. I can’t wait any longer now so I am taking my child to the Mani Majra Civil Hospital,” said Sunita, a mother. As the corridor in which Rampal’s room was located led to an operation theatre, meant for general surgeries, several attendants had to wait at a far-off place. “The police didn’t allow me to go inside the corridor saying that Rampal was there. The hospital should have made arrangements to ensure that people were not harassed,” said another attendant on condition of anonymity. “I have come to meet my relative, but the police have cordoned off the area because of Rampal,” said Ramandeep, a visitor. Principal Medical Officer Usha Gupta said, “I spoke to the paediatrician who imformed me nobody faced any harassment. Patients were seen at the SNCU till 11 am and later at the paediatrics OPD.”

Rampal given ‘VIP treatment’
Panchkula, November 20 As per sources, the room is opened only when a doctor is ill or a VIP comes to be admitted. At 11.05 pm, Chief Medical officer VK Bansal came and checked whether the room was well set or not. The care was being taken despite the fact that Rampal had troubled the Haryana Governmnet for days together. A team of doctors — physician, chest physician, ENT specialist and ortho-all specialists were asked to report immediately to the hospital at night. All medical equipment such as ventilator, defibrrilator, oxygen and a cylinder were made ready for use. The doctors were asked to be present for his check up at regular intervals. However, officials of the General Hospital said that Rampal was given a separate room due to security reasons and also so that other patients were not harassed. In order to avoid media during Rampal’s arrival in Panchkula, initially, the police force was deployed at Government Medical College and Hospital in Sector 32, Chandigarh, and no force was deployed at the General Hospital, Sector 6, Panchkula. After the medical examination at night, Rampal was seen sitting in a meditating posture and then went off to sleep. Three police officers were deployed inside his room for security reasons, whereas other Haryana Police officials were deployed outside his room. Police had got three persons along with Rampal. As per sources, the commandos allegedly bundled them into one room and locked the room. Mediapersons, doctors and staff could hear their shrieks outside. Rampal urged the police not to beat them. The hospital has no record of these three persons.

death in accident Aneesha Sareen Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, November 20 Chandigarh Police constable Vijay Kumar (39) had died after being hit by a multi-utility vehicle on October 1 last year. The constable was run over near the CRPF camp, Hallo Majra. Vijay, along with other policemen, was inspecting a road accident spot at about 12.45 am when the accident took place. The MUV, Force (CH 01 AM 9762), was going towards the Zirakpur side from Chandigarh. The driver first hit the constable and then a vehicle belonging to the Sector 31 police station. Vijay, an ex-serviceman, had joined the Chandigarh Police about three years prior to the incident. He was deployed with a police canter, used to ferry policemen from the Sector 31 police station to different spots. The petitioners, Rajnesh, widow of the constable, their children Yogita (12) and Hemant Kumar (10), and the constable’s father, Kaptan Singh (67), had submitted an application under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act for the grant of compensation to the tune of Rs 1 crore on account of the death of Vijay Kumar in an accident. The constable was getting a salary of Rs 32,000 per month. It was stated in the petition that the constable retired from from the Indian Army and was getting a pension of Rs 10,000 per month. As a result, his monthly income was Rs 42,000. “Due to his untimely death, the claimants suffered a rude shock as well as loss of love and affection,” said the tribunal, presided over by Sessions Judge SK Aggarwal. In its reply, Reliance General Insurance Company came forward with the plea that the alleged driver of the offending car in question was not holding a valid driving licence at the time of the accident. The vehicle in question was being driven in “great violation” of the terms and conditions of the insurance policy. “The accused was driving the vehicle rashly and negligently, which was also owned by him and the vehicle was under insurance with Reliance General Insurance Company as per a copy of the insurance policy. So they shall be jointly liable to pay the amount of compensation. Besides, the claimants are also held entitled to interest at the rate of 7.5 per cent per annum on the awarded amount from the date of its filing till its realisation,” said the tribunal. Rs 11 lakh compensation
for girl’s family
The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal has also awarded Rs 11 lakh to the family of a Class XII student, Rajni (17), who was crushed under a CTU bus on January 23 at the ISBT, Sector 17.

Doctor’s appointment as OSD creates buzz at PGI
Chandigarh, November 20 The decision of the Health Minister is being perceived differently by the PGI staff, and has given jitters to a few in the administration. While a former director has taken exception to his appointment, the faculty association of the institution has welcomed the move. There are others who have resented the move anonymously fearing interference. Dr BNS Walia, former Director of the institute and presently Emeritus Professor, said, “The role of an OSD is superfluous. What is the purpose of an autonomous body if you have a watchdog here in the form of an OSD. Is the Director of the Institute not competent enough to communicate directly with the Union Health Ministry?” Dr SK Sharma, former Director, in whose tenure, the first OSD to the Health Minister was appointed at the PGI, meanwhile, said, “It is the discretion of the Minister to appoint a person. It is a part of the system.” The PGIMER Faculty Association, on the other hand welcomed the move. “If a doctor can become the Health Minister (Dr Harsh Vardhan, previous Health Minister), then why can’t a doctor be appointed as the OSD?” The move is welcoming because a person from the medical fraternity will have a far better understanding of basic problems, requirements and limitations of a medical institute than a non-technical person and conveythe problem in a better way,” said Dr Virendra Singh, president, PGIMER Faculty Association. The institute’s administration has been seeing egos at play in a number of decisions and events. For instance, during the inauguration of the PGI’s Satellite Centre in Sangrur, last year, , one senior Administrator had skipped the event due to issues with another Administator.
