Expired medicines worth millions dumped in IIOJK hospital washroom
Srinagar: In a shocking display of apathy and mismanagement, a huge stockpile of expired medicines worth millions of rupees has been found dumped in the washroom of a hospital in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the expired medicines, including iron supplements and antibiotics, were found discarded in the washroom of the New Type of Primary Health Center (NTPHC) in Bagtore village of Gurez.
Local residents have expressed concern over the shortage of medicines in the area, particularly for iron deficiency, which affects many women in the territory. The incident has raised questions about the administration’s commitment to providing better healthcare facilities in border areas.
Residents have complained about the lack of medicines, forcing them to travel long distances for treatment. This disturbing trend suggests that the authorities prefer to let vital resources rot rather than provide them to those who desperately need them, exacerbating the suffering of the people in the occupied territory.
The latest incident at a hospital in Gurez is a stark reminder of the systemic neglect and indifference that has come to characterize the Indian administration’s approach to governance in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
