We had a patient Nahida Akhtar admitted in ward number 103 of the Lala Ded Hospital. My two blankets were stolen from the ward. After enquiry, I was told by patients and attendants that it is a routine matter in the hospital, said Khalid Yousuf of Sumbal Sonawari.
He alleged that hospital administration declined to show him the CCTV footage to help nab the thief. I was told CCTV footage is meant for security purposes and not for immaterial things, he rued.
Another attendant hailing from Bandipora alleged that his expensive shoes were also stolen by someone in the hospital. It is not the question of blanket or shoes. The question is why things are being stolen in the hospital and why cant hospital administration act against the culprits, he said.
When contacted, an official from LD administration said that he will look into the matter.
