Is this the transformation and revolution Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav promised with much fanfare almost four or so years ago........
Two Agra based young women were on Wednesday coerced into delivering their offspring in rather trying and arduous circumstances thanks to the apathy and criminal negligence on part of the authorities at the state government run Raya Primary Health Centre........
Long term Kosikala resident Ravita's lower middle class family had to raise a seemingly exorbitant sum of money by any ways and means possible in order to facilitate the safe and secure delivery of her triplets in a super speciality private hospital as the afore mentioned government run medical facility neither had the equipment or wherewithal to carry out or perform the requisite cesarean section to announce or herald the arrival of the three little one's into this world........
Thank the lord for his mercies and benevolence as both the mother and her three bundles of joy are in fine fettle and doing better than expected according to the gynaecologist who performed the cesarean section procedure and heralded the trio's arrival in the land of the living........
In the second incident; 26 year old Anita who was admitted to the very same hospital late on Tuesday evening as she was experiencing excruciating labour pains and agonising contractions delivered her little one on the bustling main road on which the said hospital is located as she was "suffocated if not entirely asphyxiated" by the stifling atmosphere in the maternity ward of the now infamous hospital as the ceiling fans simply refused to operate despite both her husband as well as ward boy's sterling efforts to coax some kind of life into them..........
On being queried about the absence of the much desired and needed facilities within the precincts of the government run and funded medical facility; the chief medical officer Vivek Mishra firstly shrugged his shoulders in sheer frustration and utter hopelessness and then muttered the usual inanities about initiating a high level departmental enquiry into the imbroglio........
To his credit however Mishra was able to produce the six letters or communiques he had sent to both his superiors as well as the state's health minister beseeching them to source the required equipment and other essentials at the earliest pending a suitable response from the concerned authorities.........
One wonders whether Akhilesh remembers his oft repeated assurances and hosannas about making his state an "Uttam" Pradesh where the common man is king or has he conveniently forgotten his very own false sounding and hollow ringing utterances as he is unable to provide either the funds or equipment requisitioned by the state government run hospitals which are a sorry and pitiable picture of his government's criminal negligence and callous indifference........
