JUMLA, Oct. 23 -- Utter negligence and mismanagement of drug supply has come to the fore in Jumla. While the lack of medicines in health posts and hospitals is not a new tale in this rural zone, locals are enraged after seeing medicines dumped on riverside in Kakan Sundari Rural Municipality.

They are demanding investigation into the sacks of drugs seen scattered on river banks in Kanaka Sundari area recently.

"We are shocked to see this. They have thrown medicines near the river," said Dhana Budha of Kanaka Sundari Rural Municipality - 6. "Where did the medicines come from? We are shocked considering the fact that health posts do not provide even free medicines to public stating they don't have medicine in stock," he added.
