‘Gunda Raj’ of security guards in AIIMS Delhi: created ruckus in the hospital again, misbehaved with doctors; patients also got troubled

Security guards again created a ruckus in AIIMS Delhi on Monday. It is alleged that the guards reached the Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) Center of AIIMS to vacate the place. After coming here, they started throwing things here and there. During this, they also misbehaved with the staff and doctors present in the center.

The staff present in the center told that the Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) Center provides care, support and treatment services to persons suffering from HIV/AIDS (PLHIV). On Monday, the guards came here and demanded to vacate the said place. The guard was told that some time has been sought from the AIIMS administration, but the guards started throwing things.

During this, some guards also arrived with sticks and they also argued with the doctors. At the same time, a patient who came to get medicine in the center told that his file was also in the center. When he reached inside, the security guards were throwing everything. After this incident, he is not able to find his file. It may be difficult to get treatment without the file. On the other hand, AIIMS administration is avoiding saying anything about this incident.

What is the whole matter?

The centre has given a part of the land to make Jan Aushadhi Kendra. Last month, the tenure of the existing company to provide free medicines has been extended for one year. Also, the location of Jan Aushadhi Kendra has also been changed. Now Jan Aushadhi Kendra is to be opened in this centre under the new location. However, ART centre has asked for time to vacate the place. The centre says that HIV patients are treated here. It is taking some time to find an alternative for them. In such a situation, some time should be given to vacate the place.
