BALACHANDRAN NAIR P.K says
I Was In The Amc For Four Years From 1962 To 1966 Including Service In Sikkim Nathang. I Was Not Allowed Any Kinds Of Benefits Echs Or To Purchase Storse From Csd Canteen Or Dcrg Or Pro Ration Pension. And On The Latest I Returned Rs 30000 Paid To Me By Ex Servicemen Welfare Department For The Surgery Of Prostate Since They Firmly Told That Acute Chronic Hepatitis B Positive Is Not A Serious Disease And For Such Treatment No Reimbursement Will Be Made. So I Petitioned To Chairman Nhrc New Delhi To Issued Orders To Refer The Case To Dgafms Or Aiims Or Ant Other Govt Medical Institutions. Nhrc Delivered Judgement On The Line Of Min. Of Defence. Then I Approached Dgafms Enclosing Medical Certificates And The Medicines For Three Years Continuous Treatment With Costly Tests Pcr Dna Costing Rs6000 Per Test. Nearly 12 Such Tests Conducted. Dgafms Opined My Disease Is Chronic Hepatitis B Which Is A Disease Spreading With Virus. Nhrc Chairman ‘S Judgement Was One Sided And How And Why He Was Removed From The Office Of Chairman Nhrc. I Already Petitioned To The Honble Minister Of Home To Recommend To Honble President Of India To Issue Orders Removing Him From The Office By The Appointing Authority.
In Short For Four Years Service In Amc What I Gained Was A Big Zero And I Forced To Approach The Honble President Of India.
This Is What Known As Welfare State.
