NOIDA: Amid protests by some organisations and political parties in opposition to the state executive's resolution to refer to Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar Multi-Speciality Hospital in Sector 30 by its earlier name — District Combined Government Hospital — five-six youths with their faces covered defaced the brand new board with black ink at the hospital on Thursday night.
The Mayawati executive in 2008 had named the well being facility as Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar Multi-Speciality Hospital after turning in its operations to the Noida Authority. Sources mentioned the government had then merely handed an order but did not factor any gazette notification. But the BJP executive, which has decided to take over the hospital from March this year, has decided to revert to the earlier name.
Ever for the reason that administration announced its resolution, a new board bringing up District Combined Government Hospital has arise on the premises along the only post in 2008.
The name alternate has resulted in protests by the Opposition parties, with the Bahujan Samaj Party accusing the BJP of trying to break free from tradition and the Yuva Shakti Dal setting up demonstrations out of doors the hospital.
According to the lone guard at the hospital main gate, the youths got here in motorcycles and barged into the compound around 11pm.
They post a ladder to reach the brand new board and allegedly used a cloth dipped in black paint to smudge the name. "I tried to stop them but they did not listen to me. I then informed the doctor on emergency duty," mentioned Vijaypal, the guard who used to be at the main gate.
Sources mentioned at least four-five guards of a personal security company have been supposed to were manning the hospital gate at night.
The company mentioned it would probe why there used to be just one guard on Thursday night. The chief medical superintendent of the hospital, Ajay Agrawal, mentioned they suspected contributors of the outfit who had demonstration out of doors the power a couple of days ago over the name alternate to be in the back of the act on Thursday night.
Members of the Yuva Shakti Dal, who had protested out of doors the hospital on January 13, denied any involvement.
"No one has been detained. The protesting groups could be involved in the matter but we are yet to ascertain this," mentioned Anil Shahi, SHO, Sector 20 police station.
