BANI, FEBRUARY 03:- The Community Health Center Bani is struggling with frequent power outages, severely impacting healthcare services. Local residents have demanded a separate electricity line for the hospital to ensure uninterrupted power supply. Due to constant power cuts, emergency services are disrupted, causing significant inconvenience to patients.
Every Day Many of patients visit CHC Bani for treatment. However, frequent power failures are affecting essential medical services, including, X-ray, Laboratory, Dental Section, Labor Room, Emergency Room, and ECG services. Patients often have to wait for hours, and in critical cases, lives are at risk due to delayed treatment.
The hospital is struggling with a power crisis as its current backup system fails to meet its needs. Despite having 120 batteries, they are insufficient to provide a stable power supply. Additionally, the 70 solar-powered batteries installed earlier have completed their 10-year lifespan, rendering them ineffective.
BMO Bani told Bani Update News that a ₹24 lakh Detailed Project Report (DPR) was submitted last year, proposing a direct power supply from the Sarthali power house to the hospital. However, the project is yet to be approved, leaving the hospital dependent on an unreliable power backup system.
A patient’s relative, Javed Ahmed, has appealed to the government and administration to Provide a dedicated electricity feeder from Sarthali power house. Install new batteries and generators to ensure continuous power supply. Upgrade the solar battery system to maintain an alternative energy source for backup.
Congress Leader Kajal Rajput said this is a serious issue affecting people’s lives. Pregnant women and newborns, in particular, suffer due to power outages. The government and administration must take urgent action. Until a separate electricity line is provided, the hospital’s non-functional batteries should be replaced immediately to avoid further inconvenience to patients.”
Former Sarpanch Sushil Kumar said he emphasized that patients often wait long hours for electricity to return and, in many cases, leave without receiving treatment. He urged the new government to take this issue seriously and resolve it at the earliest. The demand for a separate electricity line for CHC Bani is justified. The government and local administration must take immediate steps to address the issue and ensure uninterrupted healthcare services for patients.
