The government general hospital is able to handle only 300 patients while more than 10,000 COVID-19 patients await treatment. Poor medical infrastructure in the absence of government medical college is causing untold miseries to COVID-19 patients in Vizinagaram and other parts of the district.
Successive governments ignored the establishment of a medical college in the district, which was formed on June 1, 1979. The four decades of negligence has now turned into a bane for patients who are forced to go to hospitals in nearby Visakhapatnam district.
TDP member leads protest rally in city
A protest was organised by the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) against the privatisation of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP) at Gandhi Statue near the GVMC office in the city on Thursday.
Led by the party’s official representative Sanapala Panduranga Rao, the protesters raised the slogan ‘Visakha Ukku Andhrula Hakku’ and demanded that the steel plant continue to be in the public sector.
Addressing the participants, Mr. Panduranga Rao said it was not right on the part of the Chief Minister to talk of saving VSP by selling its surplus land. He demanded convening of a special session of the Assembly and adoption of a resolution against privatisation of VSP.
