Shocked over Sishu Bhawan affairs, HC orders personal appearance of health secy

"This court is shocked and deeply pained perusing the advocates' committee report. The photographs and video presentation are a testimony as to how a premier institute of the state which is meant for child health care is being mismanaged by the authority," the special bench dealing with civic issues in Cuttack city observed on Thursday.

"It is strange that both the sides of the roads of the gates of Sishu Bhawan are encroached. The lackadaisical attitude of the authority cannot be countenanced," the division bench of Justice SK Sahoo and Justice V Narasingh observed, adding, "The distressing condition in which the premier institute is functioning as per the advocates' committee report needs to be addressed on an emergent basis."
