Dimapur, October 16 (MExN): The Eastern Nagaland Students' Union Dimapur (ENSUD)has condemned the death of Lirichum Sangtam, 20 and Lordson Sangtam, 25 of Tsithrongse village in a road mishap with 13 IR jawans of E company on October 13.
A press note issued by its president P. Honko Luklem and general secretary Setsipa Sangtam of ENSUD questioned the credentials of the 13 IR Commander and jawans of E company who they claim tried to create unhealthy environment in a peaceful area and for trying to flee from the scene. They even went to the extent of firing to disperse the public gathered in the spot where the accident had occurred, ie. at Murise village.
Further the ENSUD has appealed to the CMO of District Civil Hopital, Dimapur to clarify why there was not even a single doctor present at the emergency ward and who is responsible for the death of Lordson Sangtam, who would have been saved with the timely intervention of a doctor, if proper medications were provided.
It is to be noted that when the patient was brought to the hospital at 8:45am by his father, there was not a single doctor available till the demise of the injured patient at 11:05 am. The ENSUD urged the concerned authority to take strict action against the doctor, who had taken a life.
Meanwhile, the ENSUD expressed its impugn for the clarification made by the Additional SP & PRO Dimapur, where he claimed that the IR jawans in the truck did not try to flee but had also evacuated the injured to the hospital. Whereas the ENSUD officials visited the scene and took the statement of the eye witnesses to clarify the facts, it was learnt that the unfortunate incident had occurred due to the reckless driving of the IR Jawan and they did not even took the injured persons to the hospital.
The ENSUD have appealed the higher authority to compensate the death of Lirichum Sangtam and Lordson Sangtam without further delay as they were the sole bread winner of their family and to take stern action against the commander and driver of the 13 IR of E company. The ENSUD will take its own course of action if justice is denied and the ENSUD would not be held responsible if any untoward incident happen.
