Security guards harass visitors at GMCH
Chandigarh, September 8 On Tuesday afternoon, two security guards thrashed a medical representative (MR) when he approached the emergency gate following a call by a senior doctor. Mr Amit Kumar, an MR of a Sector 20-based company, was going to provide some implants for a patient who was undergoing surgery. Talking to The Tribune, he said the guards did not let him enter the hospital even when he told them that he had been called by a doctor. “While one started arguing, the others pounced on me and beat me up, he lamented. They took him to a UT police post on the hospital premises and he was detained for over four hours. He was released after the intervention of doctors and his employers. The case was settled after both parties reached a compromise. A few days ago, the guards stopped an employee of the Central Scientific Forensic Laboratory (CSFL), Chandigarh, from entering the main gate of the hospital. High drama was witnessed at the hospital. The CSFL employee objected to the functioning and behaviour of the security staff and the case was taken up with hospital officials. Mr Jagdev Sharma, a Sector 22 based businessman, was harassed when the guards restrained his entry to the hospital where his wife, who was in labour, was admitted. His fault was that he had been to the chemist and had forgotten to take his attendant pass issued by the hospital along. He had to call his brother in Sector 45 and get another pass issued. The hospital is a public place. How can the authorities restrict the entry of visitors he added?” Even hospital employees were being victimised, an employee claimed. Dr C.S. Gautam, Chief Security Officer of the GMCH, expressed his ignorance. He denied having received any complaint in this regard. He said the case would be inquired into. He made it clear that MRs had to seek permission from the Head of the department concerned before
entering the hospital complex. |

Panchkula thrash Kurukshetra by 7 wickets
Panchkula, September 8 After winning the toss, Panchkula skipper Shanker Nair put the visitors to bat. Opener Deepak was caught behind of the very first ball of the match. After the emphatic start, Kuldeep Nathani uprooted the middle stump thrice in the first two overs removing Trirath Bahadur, Shalender and Dinesh Kumar without troubling the scorer. A double run by Ramneet, alongwith four extras, had the scoreboard reading six for five after five overs. Kuruskhetra’s second half of batting line-up could not sustain the pressure applied by Panchkula medium pacers and innings folded for paltry 29 runs in 11 overs. Kuldeep Nathani was the wicket taker-in-chief taking seven for 12. None of the Kurukshetra batsmen could reach the double figure mark. Chasing a meager target of 30 runs in 50 overs, Panchkula started confidently hitting Tirath Bahadur for seven runs in the first four deliveries but the bowler removed both openers in the last two deliveries with scoreboard reading seven for two after two overs when rain stopped the play. After taking an early lunch, game resumed with Ashish Kukreti 12 not out and Vishavajeet (5) reached the target with seven wickets in hand and 41 overs to spare. Tirath Bahadur was the only bowler to claim two wickets for 11 runs. Brief scores: Kurukshetra 29 all out in 11 overs, Kuldeep Nathani 7 for 12, Vijay Kumar 2 for 12. Panchkula 30 for 3 in 9 overs. Ashish Kukreti 12, Tirath Bahadur 2 for 1. Now Panchkula will meet formidable last year’s semi-finalist Chandigarh on September10, at DAV College, Chandigarh.
