Rourkela citizens make organized effort to get ESIC medical college
October 2nd, 2009
Following is an excerpt from a report in Expressbuzz.com.
The Orissa unit of CITU with support from mainstream political parties has renewed the demand to set up the proposed medical college and hospital (MCH) of the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) at Rourkela. An action committee formed today at an all-party meeting resolved to put pressure on the State Government to pave way for locating the MCH at Rourkela having high concentration of ESIC insured persons (IPs).
… Led by Orissa unit CITU general secretary Bishnu Mohanty, the meeting pointed out that of the 2.4 lakh IPs across Orissa, the industrial and mining district of Sundargarh along with adjacent Keonjhar, Jharsuguda and Sambalpur districts account for 1.4 lakh IPs. Hence, there is no justification in locating the MCH in Bhubaneswar which has a number of MCHs and super specialty hospitals, the meeting observed.

Resentment is growing among the Rourkelites, with the Government’s decision of setting up an ESIC Medical College and Hospital in Bhubaneswar. Irrespective of party affiliations, a forum has come up to pursue Naveen Patnaik to relocate the ESIC Medical College here.
On this issue, an all-party meeting was convened in the district committee office of CITU on Wednesday under the chairmanship of Rourkela Press Club president Muralidhar Parija. Among others, CITU State general secretary Bishnu Mohanty, former Rourkela Congress MLA Pravat Mohapatra, Rourkela BJD president Ananda Mohanty, former Rourkela Municipal chairman and president Rourkela Bar Association Ramesh Bal, CPI(M) Sundargarh district committee secretary Banamali Dhupal, CITU leaders Biman Maity, Jahangir Ali, CPI leaders Pravat Mishra, Pradyosh Mohanty, SK Chakraborty, HMS leader Arun Parida, senior journalist AP Biswal spoke on the occasion and expressed their solidarity in their demand for ESIC Hospital.
