News Topical, Digital Desk : Samajwadi Party workers staged a unique protest against the deteriorating health system in Sonbhadra on Thursday (April 16). SP District Secretary Pramod Yadav chained himself to the District Magistrate's office to protest. He also submitted a memorandum to the administration demanding improvements in health services.

Pramod Yadav's tactics were the most talked about during the protest. He tied chains to his hands and feet to convey the message that the general public is also suffering due to the poor health system. He was accompanied by a large number of SP workers, who raised slogans against the government and administration.

Health services have completely collapsed – SP leader

The SP leader alleged that the health system in the district has completely collapsed. From primary health centers to the district hospital and medical college, patients are not receiving proper treatment. He said that rude behavior and negligence towards patients have become commonplace, causing widespread resentment among the public.

Pramod Yadav said that patients are having to wait months for essential tests like ultrasounds. Consequently, people are forced to turn to private hospitals, where they face expensive treatment. He described this as a deliberate system that benefits private hospitals.

Pramod Yadav stated that the Samajwadi Party has always raised public issues. He stated that if necessary, further protests will be carried out in a Gandhian manner. He also accused the ruling party's representatives of ignoring the public's problems.

Accusing officials of silence

SP city president Par Brahm Singh Sardar, who led the event, said that the health department in the district is in dire straits, but the responsible officials are taking no action. He also said that workers are being suppressed for raising public issues.

SP leaders say that medicines are overpriced in the district, hospitals are under-equipped, and chaos is rampant. They allege that the government is failing completely on the healthcare front.
