The Kyamgei Youth Pioneer Club (KYPC) has strongly condemned the reported physical assault on Medical Officer, CHC Jiribam, Leimapokpam Subhashchandra and his wife Dr Rita by Health Supervisor at the same health centre, Heigrujam Inaobi of Changangei and his family.
Speaking to media persons at Kyamgei, KYPC president Kh Inaobi said that the assault on the two doctors who have been serving at Jiribam for the last ten years cannot be condoned.
Drawing attention of the Government to avert such unwanted incidents in future, the club president asserted that Health Supervisor Heigrujam Inaobi and his family should bear responsibility if anything untoward happens to the two doctors.
Taking part in the press meet, Dr Subashchandra and Rita said that their relationship with the Health Supervisor who stayed in the adjacent quarter became estranged after Rs 7.80 lakhs kept in their godrej was lost on February 20 last.
Even as all the staff quarters were searched with due permission of the occupants, the lost amount could not be recovered.
"The assault by Inaobi and his family on us on August 15 might be related to this incident", Dr Subashchandra and Dr Rita said.
In connection with assault, Heigrujam Inaobi, his younger brother Nabachandra and brother-in-law Thokchom Gokul have been sent to jail.
