LUCKNOW, March 17 -- A surprise awaited deputy chief minister Brajesh Pathak as he undertook a surprise inspection of the Chinhat Community Health Centre, on Monday. Dirt, filth and unhygienic conditions welcomed the deputy CM with not even the drinking water facility in order. A visibly angry deputy CM ordered a week's deduction in payment to the cleaning agency, and that no senior staff were to leave campus until things fell in order. Pathak lashed out over the poor sanitation, dilapidated condition of wards, and general negligence observed at the CHC. He stood in queue with patients, spoke to them and visited various sections. Beds in the general ward were found without bedsheets and filth on the hospital premises. "Notices to those responsible be served immediately," Pathak ordered. Furthermore, officials concerned will have to remain on the premises till sanitation is up to the mark. Pathak first went to the registration counter, where he joined the queue with patients. He sought feedback from patients regarding the hospital's facilities and services. Then he visited the pathology department, where a long queue of patients had formed. During the inspection, dust and grime were observed in the vicinity of the X-ray room, seeing which, the deputy CM immediately ordered that the area be cleaned. Pathak visited OPD Room No 5, where he sought information from the doctor regarding the hospital's operational arrangements and the daily patient volume. In the general ward, the Deputy CM was visibly irked by the conditions he encountered. Several beds in the ward were without bedsheets and the overall cleanliness was found to be unsatisfactory. "No negligence in patient care will be tolerated under any circumstances," Pathak told officials according to a press statement issued by his office. He also examined the condition of the restrooms, which he found to be unsatisfactory. At the time, ASHA workers were undergoing training in the centre's auditorium. The ASHA workers informed the deputy CM that their mobile phones were malfunctioning, which was causing difficulties. Deputy CM called the CMO, Dr NB Singh, and issued directives to either repair or replace the mobile phones. He directed the CHC superintendent to improve the management of these arrangements, emphasising that patients should receive their medicines within five minutes....
