Sources in the Health department informed Early Times that Medical Superintendent of Sarwal hospital ADS Manhas has gone on leave, in protest against the alleged misbehaviour. The reason behind incident, sources said, is the non-payment of dues by a medical shop owner, who is allegedly close to Choudhary Lal Singh and had not been paying the amount despite repeated instructions by hospital authorities.

"For the last two years, the owner has not been paying the amount to hospital administration", sources said. After the tender was approved in favour of the Medical Shop owner, a temporary place for shop was given in the hospital premises, on the pretext that till the permanent shop would be built and allotted to the owner.
After the shop was built by the authorities, sources said, the owner refused to shift to the permanent accommodation and continued from the same temporary shop forcibly, instead of shifting and had been refusing to pay the remaining tender money to the hospital exchequer.

Sources alleged that Medical Superintendent was directed not to take any action against Medical Shop owner and also asked not to harass him in future but Medical Superintendent resisted the move.
