DB seeks detail of facilities provided to border firing victims


Date:- 29 Jan 2019


A Division Bench (DB) of State High Court comprising Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice Tashi Rabstan on Monday directed State to file report giving complete details of the facilities which are provided to the border firing victims within four weeks from today. 
The court direction came in a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Dharminder Paul Singh Raina seeking direction to respondents to provide specialised treatment to the border firing victims/patients and create adequate preventive and treatment infrastructure and facilities for the patients.
After hearing Advocate Summit Nayyar for the PIL and Senior Additional Advocate General (Sr AAG) H.A Siddqui for the State, the DB observed that status reports have been filed by the Director Health Services, Jammu and the Principal, Government Medical College, Jammu but the same did not disclose any details of the victims of border firing or exact facilities which have been provided to them.
In the PIL, it has been submitted that the crisis like situation prevailed on the borders with dwellers, who were staying in the relief camps, deprived of food, electricity and water while the injured were finding it hard to get ambulances to reach hospitals leading to massive protests in Hiranagar as well in Government Medical College, Jammu. It was also submitted that no senior consultants are available in the hospitals of Jammu Region round the clock. It was also submitted in the PIL that it was high time for the respondents to provide basic treatment and facilities and to create special task force for providing best medical facilities to the border firing victims.
