Media attacked for highlighting sorry state of UP's healthcare

Cameramen were capturing Uttar Pradesh Director General of Health & Family Planning Dr Charanjit Lal being gheraoed by activists of BJP and ABVP when they were allegedly attacked by hospital workers.

Lal had arrived to take stock of mismanagement in the hospital against the backdrop of the video showing a class IV employee of the district hospital carrying out stitches on the wounds of an injured child and another one giving an injection to a patient.

The incident occurred opposite Kotwali Nagar Police Station and was brought under control after the police arrived.
