Hospital down with power cuts 
Tribune News Service

Rajouri, July 13
The 17-hour-long power cuts have not only hit the common man but have also created problems for patients seeking medical aid at the district hospital here. With power supply remaining disrupted at the hospital, patients were finding it hard to get themselves treated. As such, they thronged private clinics and diagnostic centres for the purpose.
Patients said since there was an acute shortage of power at the health centre, doctors did not attend to them, and instead asked them to visit their private clinics, where they had installed generators.
Confirming that the crisis had hit the district hospital here, medical superintendent P.S. Slathia said he had taken up the matter with the director health services, Jammu. “About two days back, we tried to operate various units like X-ray, ultrasound and ECG on the generator installed in the hospital but it did not take the load,” Slathia claimed.
Meanwhile, the health director, Jammu, had assured to supply a 40 KVA generator for the hospital.
