The Jammu & Kashmir government on Sunday suspended three members of Srinagar’s District Medical Board following the death of a differently-abled class 10 student outside their office, an official said in a statement.
Reports said that the differently-abled class 10th student could not get an ascribe from Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education given his inability to write down the paper himself.
Officials asked his sister and mother to approach the medical board. When they reached the gate of the board in a vehicle, they requested the doctors to attend him outside the board office. But doctors reportedly refused as his condition got deteriorated at the gate of the board.
The initial inquiry has indicted the doctors as none of them, not even the class IV employee, accompanied them to the hospital and he has been declared brought dead.
Advisor to Lieutenant Governor, Farooq Khan, who is also in In-charge of Social Welfare Department, had asked about a factual report from Principal Secretary Social Welfare Department after a video surfaced on social media in which the sister of the deceased student is narrating how her brother succumbed due to the negligence and unbecoming behaviour of medical board doctors.
On Sunday, the government said that they have placed under suspension medical board members and nursing orderly also, no action has been taken so far against Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education authorities.
