BATHINDA, July 2 -- Residents of Sooch and Mandi Kalan met the Bathinda deputy commissioner on Tuesday against the private doctors in Rampura Phul for not attending to patients from the two villages.

Sarpanch of Mandi Kalan Jaswant Preet said that members of the Rampura subdivision of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) recently took a unanimous decision in this regard.

"Recently, a patient suffered serious injuries and died. Activists of a farmers' union staged a protest against the doctor and charged him with medical negligence. After that the doctors are keeping away the patients from the twin villages," said the sarpanch.

DC Showkat Ahmad Parray told reporters that he would talk to the doctors to start treating patients.
