Demonstrators injured in street protests and warded in hospitals are battling shortages of key medicines, families and volunteers said in Srinagar. Authorities, however, denied the claim.
Hospitals across the Kashmir Valley, including in Srinagar, have treated hundreds injured due to firing by security forces. The victims have mainly suffered bullet and pellet wounds.
At the Shri Maharaja Hari Singh Hospital in Srinagar, the notice board in the emergency ward has a notification indicating vital medicines including antibiotic injectables like Timentin and Amikacin are out of stock.
Volunteers providing help to the patients too admit about shortage of life saving drugs. But the head of SMHS, Kaiser Ahmed, told the media that "there is no shortage of drugs".
All the medical shops are shut in Srinagar due to the curfew imposed after Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani was killed by security forces on Friday evening.
His death triggered widespread clashes in the Kashmir Valley between mainly young demonstrators and security forces leaving more than 30 people dead and scores injured.
