Patients made victims of politics

General mass have nothing to do with the state politics. But they are subjected to terrible sufferings due to political unrest. Common people are seriously worried. How will they survive under such economic stress created by the on-going political impasse?
Patients are suffering much as they can't get necessary treatment. It is not only difficult to take seriously ill patients to hospital but also to find specialist physicians for consultation. Often ambulances are intercepted by the political activists in action.
The question is how long will this undesired situation continue? We call upon the political parties to sit for effective dialogue and work out ways to end the present stalemate.
