Neither the hospital is in the position to fill the vacant posts nor the concerned Ministry has paid any attention to address the problems in the hospital.
Director of the hospital Dr. Kapil Dev Upadhaya argued that the mental hospital have been facing serious problems owing to the failure on the part of the government to develop all health sectors simultaneously. -
