In a recent decision, the Maharashtra State Security Corporation has given the green light for the placement of Maharashtra Security Force personnel at Dr. R. N. Cooper Hospital in Vile Parle. This move was prompted by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's concern for the safety of its citizens, especially after the unfortunate assault on resident doctors last month.
To ensure swift and effective implementation of this decision, a high-level meeting was held on November 10, with senior civic officials in attendance. The meeting saw the involvement of key figures such as the Deputy Municipal Commissioner and the Director of Medical Education and Major Hospitals, who directed their respective departments to expedite the induction of MSF personnel. A detailed proposal was also expected to be submitted by November 12 for further approvals.
One of the key factors in determining the number of guards required will be a joint security assessment conducted by MSSC. While the registration fees for BMC are waived as it is already a registered establishment, the hospital will have to pay a security assessment fee. Moreover, the deployment of security officers will also ensure proper supervision and discipline of guards. Once the fee is received, the services will be provided promptly, with monthly duty rates and applicable service charges fixed according to government norms.
In other news, the Versatile Vets Clinic in Andheri West has announced a six-day subsidized vaccination camp for stray dogs and cats. This initiative has been welcomed by many, including resident doctors who had previously threatened to stop working after the attack on their colleagues. They have also urged BMC to make such security arrangements permanent in all major municipal hospitals.
Until the deployment of MSF personnel, the security at Cooper Hospital will be managed by the existing BMC staff. However, officials have warned that if the BMC election dates are announced and the Model Code of Conduct comes into effect, the final approval of the proposal could be delayed by up to six months.
