NAKODAR
Resentment prevails among Nakodar residents against the failure of district police authorities to provide proper security at the local civil hospital. They said the opiate therapy center in the civil hospital has become a source of nuisance for the town as well as medical authorities.
Senior medical officer Doctor Sanjiv Kumar said more than one thousand drug addicts daily visit therapy center for doses, and they create law and order problems. He said that he had requested city police to provide adequate police security but to no avail.
Nakodar city police station munshi said the station house officer had written to Jalandhar(rural) senior superintendent of police to provide permanent police guard (five personnel) from police lines at the civil hospital which has been rejected. He said that city police are providing security.
