RK Mission Secretary Swami Visweshnanda informed that hospital is a place where the patient should get first preference but we have observed that people parked their vehicle when they want to go for shopping in the nearby area thereby depriving the space for genuine patient transport. Parking fees are being collected to discourage this practice. People should be advice strongly to use the paid parking arranged by the district administration.

Commercial vehicle such as Auto Rickshaw, trekker are parked in the patient parking area for days together sometime which also have prompted us to do so. he said.

Hospital does not realised parking charges from School vehicle, milk van, Post Office Van, Police Van, commercial vehicle that come to drop patient and leave immediately. Parking charges are taken only when the vehicles are parked for longer time and deprived the space for genuine patient transports.

He observed that poor people don’t own vehicle they come by public transport such as Bus, Trekker, Auto.

When patient attendant bring vehicles and who have to attend to the patient the hospital does give them a temporary pass. Swamiji added.
