Thoubal, May 9 : In a tragic incident, people claiming to be committee members of CHC Lilong allegedly assaulted one individual for questioning the rationale for charging Rs 30 for admitting to the health centre at Lilong Haoreibi Makha Leikai on May 8.
The 'victim' of the alleged incident has been identified as one Yumkhaibam Ziaul Haque (30), s/o Haji Jiaouddin of Lilong Haoreibi Makha Leikai Asem Leirak. He was reportedly treated at Noor Hospital, Lilong.
Briefing journalists at the residence of the victim, today, Ziaul Haque narrated that he was assaulted for asking why the CHC is charging more money on an OPD ticket than the rate fixed by the Government, which he said is only Rs 10.
According to Ziaul, he went to the health centre for treating his son who was having skin rashes.
Claiming that he sustained injuries on several body parts as the staff posted at the CHC doesn't stop the assault, Ziaul added that he was admitted to Noor Hospital as treatment at the CHC was allegedly denied.
Asking if the health centre is turned into a business establishment by certain people, he urged the  State Government to look into the matter and bring to book all indulging in fraudulent activities.
He also urged the Government to take befitting actions against the persons who assaulted him within 48 hours.
It is reported that the 'victim' has submitted a written complaint to the Lilong police station regarding the incident.
