Non-functional Govt health centre, school under scanner

NONGPOH: The KSU North Khasi Hills District Unit on Tuesday lodged a complaint before Ri Bhoi Deputy Commissioner Pooja Pandey about the non functionalities and irregularities at public health centres, sub centres and Sarva Siksha Abhiyan Schools located within Raid Nongtung area.
The pressure group demanded a magisterial inquiry into the matter.
The KSU alleged that the Mawlasnai Public Health Centre has been functioning without a doctor for several months. Hence, it cannot render any medical service to the people there.
The doctor on duty refuses to treat patients from Block II, as they hail from Assam, the KSU alleged.
The Health Sub Centre located at Thadrang has been non functional even though renovation and painting work was being done every year.
The SSA school building at Ummat which was sanctioned five years back remains incomplete till date, the KSU claimed.
