Assault on Healthcare Worker in Kanchanpur Raises Concerns

Kanchanpur: A disturbing incident unfolded in Kanchanpur, where a healthcare worker attending to the injured at the Sripur Primary Health Center in Belauri was subjected to an attack.

Aheb Narendra Prasad Gaire, dedicated to his duties at the Sripur Primary Health Center, was providing medical attention to Baburam Chaudhary from Belauri Municipality-5 Mainaha, who had sustained head and eye injuries during an incident on Tuesday night. In an alarming turn of events, Aheb Gaire became the target of an assault and verbal abuse.

Aheb Gaire recounts the harrowing encounter with Ram Bahadur Khadka, also known as Ramu, from Gokulpur Bazar in Belauri. Khadka's aggression escalated to the point where he threatened Gaire's life, even brandishing a weapon, and ominously hinted that their entire altercation was being recorded by security cameras. This ominous warning may have deterred further violence.

Disturbingly, CCTV footage from the Sripur Primary Health Center captures the incident, with Khadka dismissing the confrontation between healthcare workers and security personnel as a typical dispute. The incident highlights the growing concerns about the safety and security of healthcare professionals who tirelessly serve their communities, often under challenging circumstances.
