Jammu August 31:

Patients admitted in Governmental Medical Hospital (GMC) Jammu these days are irked with the ongoing construction work within the hospital building. They expressed annoyance over the lethargic attitude of administration for executing tile cutting work outside recovery ward creating inconvenience for patients.

Attendants of patient’s alleged administration for taking patients casually by starting construction work within hospital.

“This is childish on the part of administration to create lot of fuss outside the recovery ward, the noise of tile cutter is so loud that it irritates normal person passes through that ward, than it is obvious that patients would definitely irked with such noisy sound,”  said Rakesh Kumar, an attendant.

On the basis of present knowledge of the physiologic effects of noise, these noise levels probably stimulate the hyperphysical- adrenocortical axis of patients, exceed the threshold for peripheral vasoconstriction, pose a threat to hearing in patients receiving aminoglycosidic antibiotics and are incompatible with sleep which would be dangerous for patient’s health.

Aggrieved patients said that this construction work creates lot of noise which affects them as they can’t take proper rest amid noisy machine work of tile reaper.

“It is good to renovate hospital building but it not putting comfort of patients on stake, they should mark the area and fit tiles prepared from outside so that their work accomplishes without making noise,” said  patient, wishing anonymity.

According to noise experts a tolerable sound threshold for sick people is considerably lower than healthy one, “noise can provoke many physiological responses, it can startle the patient, damage his hearing, stimulate epinephrine production, induce sensory disturbances, constrict peripheral and coronary. In short noise to a sick can led to death,” said expert Sandeep.

When Early Times tried to contact concerned authorities of hospital, on repetitive calling the numbers of Principal and Superintendent of GMC was switched off, whereas on official number there was no one to comment.

Jammu September 6

The Jammu University students are already suffering because of poor quality of valuation and borne of extra fees for re-evaluation of results. Now with the delayed revaluation results, students are likely to lose a precious academic year.

As per official data every year around 20,000 students apply for re-evaluation, according to some students, they had to shell out at least Rs 1,000 for the entire revaluation process, as one answer script charges over 310, excluding 175 late fees. This includes compulsory charges for photocopies of answer-sheets. Despite all this, the revaluation results take over two to three months to get released. Therefore, “students have no option but to fill up supplementary exam forms,” resented students.

The revaluation results of several faculties like under graduate part 1^st, Part 2^nd and other post graduation courses are still awaited. "It's sheer harassment for all of us. Even though we've applied for the revaluation, the results will be out after supplementary exams. Thus, we've to study hard for the same subject again. Actually, there is no point in applying as we are anyhow appearing in the biannual exams," said Megha, an aggrieved part Ist student.

On one side when the students are back in classes after passing various exams falling under University of Jammu, on the same side there are some students who are still lurching to confirm their results as re-evaluation results are still awaited.

Contradicting much hyped claims of Jammu University for its speedy work, this time the time consumed by JU in declaring releasing results of re-evaluation seems to be bleak as more than one month has passed but the result is yet to declare.

“The re-evaluation always takes time as we have to hire special teachers due to busy schedule of concern teachers with their classes,” said controller JU, GM Bhat.

Students allege that they lost their precious time by up and down to university for seeking queries of results.

“When the university authorities can check lakh of papers of under graduation and PG courses on record time than what is wrong with them while checking of mere thousands,” said aggrieved students Akash.

Talking to Early Times JU controller said that it will take more one to two months to set out the results of various classes. “We are working on the papers and will try to release result as soon as possible,” said he.
