When Free Press spoke to Mishra, she said hospital authorities including the secretary, often make her do the work, which was below her dignity and did not align with the LDC profile. Mishra was troubled due to frequent transfers.
She told Free Press that sometimes she was posted at the state branch of Red cross society, sometimes at AYUSH, and sometimes was deployed as sanitation supervisor, due to which she took the extreme step. She said she was often posted at other departments, which doesn’t concern her.

Secretary seldom visits hospital
According to hospital sources, Ramendra Singh seldom visits hospital and is least concerned with problems faced by employees. Attempt by Free Press to contact Singh met with no response.
