On 10th Jun 2021, doctors, including female doctors, were verbally assaulted with obscene language and threatened with dire consequences by patient attenders at SMIMS, Gangtok, SIKKIM.

Even in a peaceful state like Sikkim, the situation for doctors and healthcare workers is same as elsewhere in India. The police have registered an FIR and arrested the 2 culprits.

See this person well. He is proud of assaulting the doctor. Because he knows nothing can happen to him in India. 

He says he has assaulted and will assault doctors after patient death. He has no remorse. Rather he is proud  to have assaulted doctors. 

It is only in a country like India where the public is silent. One person said that “HE WILL ASSAULT DOCTORS” it is understandable. But an entire country remains silent, it shows that a country of 130 crore people do not care for doctors or the entire country is impotent.

Will we say nothing? May be yes.

Because we doctors are the biggest cowards. The Police is coward. The politicians are all impotent. They have no guts to prosecute such people. Media is silent. The Human rights don’t exist. The intellectuals have all gone into hibernation. Socialites are mute.

On 7th Jun 2021, there was another brutal attack on Dr. Shiv Shankar Roy and other health care workers asaulted at Pandua Rural Hospital , Hooghly, West Bengal, INDIA after death of a critical patient despite all efforts. 

There is no action by the police or the administration. 

This campaign is nearing the 1 lakh signature mark. Your support means so much to me particularly today when I feel so darn disheartened with the system. Why is dignity in death so hard for the authorities to understand?

On the one hand, the need of the hour has been since the last couple of months for makeshift crematoriums, electric furnaces and morgues to keep up with the rising death toll. On the  other hand, existing crematoriums are being overstretched or in some cases like the one in my constituency, South Mumbai is almost non-operational! Where are we expected to cremate our loved ones who leave us?

In south Mumbai, a crematorium that services Ward A B and C has been declared structurally unsafe for human use by a report dated October 2017. (The population of just Ward A is more than the total population of the State of Goa!)

After 2 whole years of struggle and hiccups,  the reconstruction of the Chandanwadi crematorium commenced in September 2020. I had celebrated along with the citizens who are part of my group called Dignity In Death. Today the work is at a standstill because a builder at the rear of the crematorium has placed barricades in order to prevent any access from the rear while the front is reconstructed as per Phase Two of the plan.

I am attaching the Times of India report for you to read. It details all the messiness, the politics and everything that is standing in the way of our right to dignity in death. Please read it and let me know your thoughts. I could really use some motivation from all of you to keep going.

On 6th June 2021, family members vandalised an ICU in JNIMS , IMPHAL, MANIPUR, INDIA. After death of a critical COVID patient, the patient relatives destroyed oxygen concentrator and ventilators of the ICU and assaulted health care workers there. 

If your relative was admitted there, would you allow such vandals to hamper care. If your patient is admitted in any ICU, spread the message to STOP violence. Because such violence will affect care to your patient too. 

Is someone listening? 

With 5 brutal assaults on healthcare workers across India in last 2 weeks and many such unreported incidents, why are you silent PM Modi?

Dear Supporters,

I want to congratulate and thank you all for this amazing victory which we have achieved and it could not have been possible without your support. My petition for Free Covid vaccination for all received more than 1 lakh 32 thousand signatures from India and abroad and eventually led the Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi to announce free vaccines for all starting from June, 21.

I started this petition because I believed that Free Covid vaccination is not only a need but also a right of the people of India. Those who believe in change will bring it. You all collectively believed in this change and together we achieved it. Thank You
