Bathinda, August 4
Sensing the financial status of the district administration, authorities of the under construction HMEL's Guru Gobind Singh refinery have come forward to extend financial support for the medical facilities and drinking water projects in the district.
According to information available, observing the futuristic demand, the refinery authorities had urged the district administration to provide round-the-clock medical facilities at Civil Hospital, Rama Mandi. Finding the district administration incapable of bearing the expenses, the refinery authorities themselves floated a proposal to pay Rs 2.5 lakh every month for the salary of the whole staff to be appointed there.
To discuss the proposal, a meeting was arranged on Monday, where the Deputy Commissioner, Rahul Tewari, SDM Talwandi Sabo, Anil Garg, Civil Surgeon Neelam Bajaj and the chief manager of the refinery project, Rajiv Parmar, marked their presence.
During the meeting, it was said that the refinery authorities wanted 24-hour medical facility, including the OPD. For the purpose, the health department listed the requirement of staff as five doctors, two staff nurses, two laboratory technicians, three class IV employees, one radiographer and a driver. As per the minutes of the meeting, both parties decided to employee the staff on contractual basis.
Further, the refinery officials assured the district administration of lending their support in the second-phase extension of the hospital.
After checking the feasibility at the local level, the district administration sent the requirement of the refinery along with their proposal to the secretary, Health Department, for sanction.
Meanwhile, refinery officials, observing the scarcity of funds at the Red Cross drug de-addiction centre, came forward to take the responsibility by donating Rs 20,000 per month.
It has also been informed that taking a serious notice of the contamination level of the underground water, the refinery officials have been planning to install reverse osmosis plants in the nearby schools.
Expressing gratitude over the public-oriented approach of the refinery authorities, DC Rahul Tewari said, "We have sent the proposal to the department concerned and are hopeful of getting it sanctioned soon."
