Dharmagarh livestock centres in disarray

The Pioneer, Dec 29, 2011

While the Government claims to have opened 9,000 veterinary dispensaries all over Odisha for treatment of the animals, in Dharamgarh sub-division, the Parla veterinary dispensary is in complete disarray.
Similarly, a few other centres are also haunted by the problem of doctors and livestock inspectors playing truant. At these centers and dispensaries, night watchers in drunken mood perform the duties of the doctors.
A beautiful building with all facilities at a cost of Rs7 lakh has been constructed for the dispensary at Parla, but the doctor hardly stays there.
The livestock inspectors are no better and are neglecting the treatment of the animals with impunity.
