A troubling incident occurred at the Pediatric Ward of District Hospital Pulwama, where a doctor was allegedly insulted and threatened while on duty. According to hospital sources, the doctor was trying to manage an increasing crowd inside the ward to maintain hygiene and ensure optimal care for patients when the confrontation took place.
Rather than cooperating, one individual reportedly turned aggressive, verbally assaulted the doctor, and threatened to record and circulate the video online in an apparent attempt to defame the medical professional.
The hospital administration has strongly condemned the incident, terming it an unacceptable act aimed at obstructing essential medical services. “Such actions not only demoralize our dedicated staff but also endanger patient safety,” said a senior hospital official.
The administration has indicated that legal action may be taken against the individual involved. Officials reiterated that any attempt to disrupt hospital operations or intimidate healthcare workers will be met with strict legal consequences.
In response, healthcare workers across the district have voiced their support for the doctor, calling for respect and protection for medical personnel. They urged the public to recognize the critical role of healthcare workers and uphold the sanctity of hospital environments.
