Administration's Advice for Patients
Hospital management has appealed to city residents and patients coming from far-flung areas to visit on Saturday (June 27) for routine check-ups or consultations, when OPD services will resume as per their scheduled time. This decision has been taken in view of the public holiday situation due to Muharram, so that health personnel can be facilitated in managing arrangements related to the festival.
Atmosphere of Peace and Security in the City
The district administration is fully prepared to maintain peace in Bhagalpur on the occasion of Muharram. Akhada and Nishan processions are being taken out from various neighborhoods. Along with this, programs like sharbat and drinking water distribution for the devotees are also being organized by social organizations, which are sending a message of mutual brotherhood and harmony in the city.
The closure of the OPD may cause some inconvenience to patients, but the district administration and the Health Department have ensured that critical patients do not face any kind of problem. Health services will be fully restored to normal from Saturday.
