**Bhubaneswar:** On receiving allegations that a journalist was manhandled by one security guard of All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Bhubaneswar while covering the news about the recent infrastructure failures in the institute, Deputy Director (Administration) PK Ray informed that stringent action will be taken against the erring security guard.
As per reports, a journalist had visited AIIMS today morning to cover the news about the recent wall cracks noticed in the hospital’s trauma care unit and a concrete chunk falling from the ceiling near the Central OPD.
However, he was allegedly manhandled by an on-duty security guard and also detained for few minutes inside the hospital.
In reaction to the allegations, Ray said, “After talking with the concerned journalist, I have instructed the security officer to take stringent action against the security guard if the allegations are found to be true. The security officer has also been asked to sensitise the security guards so that such incident should not be repeated in future.”
The action of the security guard, if found to be true, is condemnable and unacceptable. Appropriate action will be taken against the security agency and concerned guard, he added.
