Controversy Unfolds: MLA's Family Accused of Shuttering Health Centre

Jammu and Kashmir Police have filed charges against the wife and son of Anantnag MLA Peerzada Mohammad Syed for allegedly locking a government hospital. The facility, provided by the MLA's family for a health centre in 2008, is reportedly in dispute due to its condition.

The Jammu and Kashmir Police have initiated legal proceedings against the family members of Anantnag MLA Peerzada Mohammad Syed. The MLA's wife and son face allegations of unlawfully sealing a government healthcare facility.

The incident came to light when an FIR was lodged at the Achabal police station on Tuesday. Authorities accuse the Syed family of locking a hospital located in the Damhal Khosipora area, which reportedly resides in a structure provided by them back in 2008.

The MLA's family argues that the building's deteriorated state prompted a request for relocation of the health centre. Earlier this year, the MLA reached out to Anantnag's chief medical officer to discuss moving the center to a safer location.
