*ADC Doda visits Gundana to inquire about the alleged medical negligence case.*

Doda, February 20; Additional Deputy Commissioner Doda Dr Ravi Kumar Bharti visited Gundana along with Chief Medical Officer Doda Dr Hamid Zargar, Tehsildar Gundana, and police officials to inquire about the death of Smt. Shahista Begum W/O Mohd. Abass R/O Doru, Anantnag A/P Hajipura Gundana, which was alleged in some social media handles as death due to medical negligence.

 

Inquiry committee headed by ADC met with various stakeholders, villagers, and witnesses and recorded their statements. The decision in this regard shall come out soon.

 

The Committee also inspected the drug stores/ medical shops of the area, and licences of two medical shops were suspended for failing to produce proper records of their sale-purchase and other mandated record. The owners of the shops have been asked to produce the required record before the authority to reinstate their liscences.

 

It is pertinent to mention here that the news item appeared in the Social media, wherein it was alleged that the death happened because of negligence of some medical practitioner, while some other social media handles carried news of her natural death. The appearance of such contradictory repots made the DM Doda to order inquiry.
