Earlier, tension ran high on the premises of Dadeldhura Hospital after the police administration tried to shift  Senior Orthopedic Dr Govinda KC, who is on a fast-onto death, to Provincial Hospital, Dhangadhi.

Doctors attending to KC had referred him to a sophisticated hospital saying that his health condition was deteriorating. His blood pressure is increasing and heartbeats are irregular.

KC’s supporters had protested against shifting KC from Dadeldhura Hospital charging that he was being shifted without any plans and against KC’s will.
