Kalimpong, April 12: The Kalimpong unit of the CPM has alleged that the subdivisional hospital here is short of essential medicines.

Members of the party today submitted a memorandum to S.R. Pradhan, the subdivisional medical officer of health here, and claimed that anti-rabies vaccine and other medicines were not available at the hospital. They also alleged that the quality of food served to the patients at the hospital was way below par.
