Villagers in Garabandha, Gajapati district, staged a road blockade protesting the acute shortage of doctors and pharmacists at the local primary health center. Demanding 24-hour healthcare services and permanent staff appointments, the residents shut down shops and blocked the main road connecting Andhra Pradesh to Berhampur. The agitation follows an unfulfilled promise from the administration made in April regarding medical staff deployment. https://www.dharitri.com/villagers-protest-over-shortage-of-health-workers-in-gajapati/ #creator program
