Hospital staff protest lawyer access demands
31 Jan
Summary
- Medical staff marched silently against lawyer access.
- Protest arose after a boundary wall dispute resolution.
- Staff cite safety and service disruption concerns.

Medical personnel at Dhanbad sadar hospital staged a silent protest, demanding a complete ban on lawyers using hospital grounds. This demonstration occurred shortly after lawyers ended their strike, following assurances that a boundary wall hindering access would be dismantled. Health workers voiced serious concerns about safety, security, and the unimpeded delivery of medical services.
Hospital officials stated that an alternative route for lawyers already existed, deeming the demand for wall demolition and a new passage unjustified. They emphasized that allowing general transit through the hospital would compromise security and internal management, potentially impacting critical emergency responses due to traffic congestion. The Indian Medical Association supported the protest, highlighting the risks to patient care.
