Dang Civil Hospital in Ruins: Patients Lack Drinking Water, Tribal Leader Vows Protest
Ahwa, Dang: A horrifying state of healthcare has been exposed at the Ahwa Civil Hospital, the primary lifeline for the tribal population of Dang district. In a scathing revelation that has rocked the local administration, Nilesh Zambare, the District President of the Bharat Adivasi Samvidhan Sena, has officially declared an “Ugra Andolan” (fierce protest) against the hospital’s management. Despite the government’s lofty claims of tribal welfare, patients are currently trapped in what can only be described as a living nightmare, deprived of even the most basic human necessity: clean drinking water.
On this Wednesday, January 14, 2026, the atmosphere in Ahwa is tense as the tribal community rallies behind a written complaint submitted to the District Collector. The exposé highlights a systematic failure where medical care has been replaced by filth, arrogance, and a suspected “commission-nexus” between government doctors and private hospitals.
The Ground Reality: Four Days Of Horror In The General Ward
The internal rot of the hospital came to light when Nilesh Zambare’s own family member, Geetaben Nilesh Zambare, was admitted to the General Ward on January 10, 2026. For four consecutive days, Zambare personally witnessed the inhuman conditions that thousands of poor tribal patients endure silently.
The Horror List At Dang Civil Hospital:
- Zero Drinking Water: The hospital’s water coolers are non-functional. Relatives of patients are forced to wander outside the premises or buy bottled water for basic survival.
- Dry Bathrooms & Stench: The toilets and bathrooms have been without a drop of water for days. The resulting stench has turned the General Ward into a breeding ground for secondary infections.
- Filth Everywhere: Dust-laden floors and uncleaned medical waste are scattered across the corridors, mocking the state’s “Swachhta” missions.
Scandalous Nexus: Are Civil Hospital Doctors Working As Private Agents?
Beyond the physical infrastructure, a much more sinister allegation has surfaced. Nilesh Zambare’s complaint explicitly mentions the rude and arrogant behavior of the hospital staff. When patients ask for water or better hygiene, they are reportedly told, “There are no facilities here; if you don’t like it, take a discharge and leave.”
Shockingly, it is alleged that instead of providing treatment, some doctors at the Ahwa Civil Hospital are actively pressuring poor patients to move to specific Private Hospitals. This has raised serious suspicions of a “commission-based referral system” where government-paid medical professionals act as agents for private clinics. For a poverty-stricken tribal family, being pushed toward expensive private care is a death sentence for their finances.
The Ultimatum: Tribal Sena Warns Of A District-Wide Shutdown
Nilesh Zambare has made it clear that this is not just a request but a warning to the state government. Copies of the formal complaint have been dispatched to the Governor of Gujarat, the Chief Minister, and the Health Minister. The tribal community has laid out a clear set of demands:
- Immediate Restoration: Guaranteed 24/7 supply of clean drinking water and functional sanitation in all wards.
- Action Against Staff: Disciplinary proceedings against doctors and staff members who misbehave with tribal patients.
- End Referral Scam: A high-level inquiry into the alleged nexus between government doctors and private healthcare providers.
- Transparent Governance: A permanent monitoring committee to oversee the daily functioning of the Ahwa Civil Hospital.
“We will not allow our people to be treated like animals in their own district,” Zambare stated. If the administration does not act within the coming days, the Bharat Adivasi Samvidhan Sena has vowed to lead a democratic but aggressive movement that could bring the district’s administrative machinery to a standstill.
Government Response: Tenders Issued Amidst Public Fury
Coincidentally, records show that the Health & Family Welfare Department of Gujarat recently published a tender on January 9, 2026, for “Civil Maintenance Works” at the General Hospital, Ahwa, with an estimated value of Rs. 80.62 Lakhs. While the government plans for a 12-month long refurbishment, the patients suffering today cannot wait for long-term construction.
The immediate crisis of water and sanitation requires an urgent administrative fix, not a year-long building plan. As of today, January 14, 2026, the tribal community remains on high alert, waiting to see if the District Collector will wake up from his slumber or if Ahwa will witness a historic public uprising.
