The Manav Adhikar Suraksha Manch in its 62nd phase of the Ghanta Yatra (cymbal beating rally) demanded that the MKCG Medical College Hospital Superintendent open a geriatrics department for the senior citizens at the earliest. The members said that there are no such facilities for senior citizens in the hospital, for which they have to face many problems.
The Manch also demanded that the Superintendent make systems to give priority to the senior citizens in different counters like outdoor, Niramaya Medicine stores and as well as in various departments like radiology where the MRI, CT scan, X-Ray are being done.
Among others, Manch coordinator Abani Kumar Gaya, Pravat Nahak, Purnachandra Maharana, Bijay Chandra Bisoyi, Maguni Nahak and Manoj Kumar Tarai were present.
