Residents of Batase in Gorkha Municipality-7 protested against the extreme negligence of while taking the Corona infected person on an ambulance to the isolation of Gorkha Campus through the settlement on September 9 as the infected person vomited in three places around the settlement.
Locals complained that there was negligence while commuting the patients before and due to such incidents the risk of infection is increased as dogs eat the vomit as Corona is spread by spitting of saliva. The locals requested to provide plastic bags to the infected people for vomiting and not to open the window of the ambulance while carrying the infected person and blamed the ambulance for its high speed.
Mayor of Gorkha Municipality Rajan Raj Pant said that the infected person was 'disinfected' with chlorine solution in the place where he vomited and told the chief district officer not to repeat such negligence and make the process systematic.
And Chief District Officer Tirtha Raj Bhattarai said that ambulances and concerned locals should be alerted while carrying the infected and he would write to the ambulance steering committee and all the local levels not to be so careless while carrying the infected.
