Dibrugarh: Authorities of the St Luke's Hospital at Chabua in Dibrugarh district on Wednesday filed an FIR against the members of All Assam Muttock Yuba Chatra Parishad for allegedly threatening to kill two administrators over the dismissal of an office assistant.

Hospital administrator Aditi Abhilash Herenz in her complaint said Satyan Gohain, who was dismissed from service, brought a group of people who identified themselves as members of the Parishad, and started to protest in the hospital. They also tore up the dismissal letter in front of officer-in-charge of Chabua police station.

According to the complaint, Jugal Baruah, president of the Dibrugarh unit of the Parishad, threatened to kill Aditi and another administrator Kimson Takri if they do not rescind the sacking. They also demanded Rs 30,000 per month and 12 bighas of land for Gohain.

Members of the Parishad also blocked National Highway 37 at Chabua for an hour in protest against the dismissal of Gohain.

Gohain told The Telegraph, "How can they dismiss me from service without issuing a notice? It's a violation of the rules. I have been working for 12 years. On August 21, I got a letter from Shillong telling me I was dismissed. If I have made a mistake they could have issued a warning or suspended me but how can they terminate my service?"

"A few months back, I highlighted certain issues like the lack of a proper pathologist and many technicians working without any diploma. This is the reason they terminated my service," he added.

Baruah said the hospital management committee had done Gohain an injustice. He alleged that all the charges against the Parishad members were false.

"Every three months, Rs 1.5 crore is given by Oil India Ltd for infrastructure development of the hospital but the management is not carrying out any work to upgrade it. The hospital is situated in Chabua and our sentiments are associated with it as our forefathers donated the land where it was built," Baruah claimed.
