IMPHAL, May 20: The Primary Health Centre (PHC) at Tengnoupal Sub-division Headquarter has at present no doctors or other staff, nor any equipment. Moreover, the building has not been repaired although it is around 20 years old. The wooden walls, windows and doors, the RCC floor and the wooden pillars are all in various degrees of dilapidation making the health centre completely uninhabitable and unsafe for any kind of work to be done from there.
As the building is not under use the health centre is now being used as a godown for storing charcoal by the locals. The charcoal is meant for sale in the various markets in the state, including Imphal. The building was constructed in 1967 and is just next to the National Highway-39. One can make out at the first sight that the building is not fit for use.
The PHC is the only one in the Tengnoupal sub-division and as it is non-functional for the past many years, people have to go to the 29 AR post in Tengnoupal for treatment. While the 29 AR post can treat only minor cases those with major problems have to go to the hospitals in Imphal. As a result the people of Tengnoupal have to undergo a lot of hardships whenever there are any cases of illness or disease.
Since the health centre was established no doctors have been present in there to treat the patients. In this regard the villagers submitted memorandums to the concerned authorities at various times but they never got a positive response till now. However, the villagers hope that one day the building will surely be reconstructed by the concerned authorities. Villagers also expect that one day all the necessities will be provided to them.
Further, President of Kuki Student Organization(KSO) Tengnoupal Block, Thangboi Lungdin stated that the said PHC was only for name sake and the PHC of Tengnoupal Sub-Division is under the supervision of SDO/BDO Darsinso Aimol but he does not look after it. In this matter the said PHC was not providing any facilities, he charged.
Meanwhile, Thangboi Lungdin stated to IFP that a building of the SDO/BDO was inaugurated in 2007 by Chief Minister Okram Ibobi, and the government handed it over to the people of Tengnoupal Sub-Division. But the SDO/BDO never came to this office and they never did anything to make it function also.
Seven to eight years before the inauguration of the building the villagers rented a building for temporary office but the SDO/BDO and other subordinate staff never visited them and the concerned officers never enquired into the problems of the villagers. The villagers also charged that the SDO/BDO Darsinso Aimol never looked into the problems of the area because of which the area had become one of the most backward areas.
Thangboi Lungdin appealed to the higher authorities to take action against the SDO/BDO and his subordinate staff as they are not interested in their work and are interested in only making their position comfortable while neglecting the villagers.
