Not satisfied with the replies from the MD-JKMSC Dr Yashpal Sharma, the Minister reprimanded him and said, "How can you alone take decision for whole of the State."
"You are taking decision for whole of the State," she said when MD peevishly replied, he doesn't have enough space for storing drugs." Showing her dissatisfaction and displeasure, the MoS Health asked "if you do not have enough space then why the work of the Corporation has been started, should observe patience and wait for some time but what was the urgency to start on adhoc (temporary) basis". "First you should have acquired the requisite space for drug storage and then started the due functioning" she said ridiculing the operations of JKMSC. "Why to initiate a long journey when you can't walk a step", she said, directing the MD to leave the meeting immediately.
