He said such incidents took place in several districts of the state, including the capital Ranchi. Incidents of crime worried everyone but it had no effect on the government. In the capital Ranchi, a social and respected person like Subhash Munda was shot after entering his office, a 5-year-old girl was raped in a school in Ranchi itself, and in Hazaribagh criminals ran away safely by spreading panic in a posh area besides incidents of theft and burglary in many establishments of Hazaribagh has sparked panic.
Jaiswal said that after complaining to the Health Minister about corruption in the name of diesel at Hazaribagh’s largest government hospital named Sheikh Bhikhari Medical College, the Health Minister had ordered an inquiry. At this hospital, a surgery took place in the light of a mobile torch despite the fact that the amount was siphoned in the name of diesel for the generator. The Health Minister had assured to investigate and take action within 15 days.
