The city of Hyderabad's Vanasthalipuram area is witnessing a surge in rowdy behavior by a group of youths allegedly under the influence of ganja (cannabis). A disturbing incident that took place outside a hospital in the area has sent shockwaves among the local residents. On Thursday night, around 9 pm, a group of six young men gathered outside the Gem Kidney Hospital, consuming liquor and creating a ruckus. When the hospital staff requested them to refrain from drinking outside the hospital premises, the youths turned violent and attacked the staff.
The incident, which has been described as a "ganja gang attack," has left the hospital receptionist, Vidyasagar, severely injured. The assailants, allegedly under the influence of ganja, stabbed Vidyasagar multiple times with a knife, leaving him in a critical condition. The attackers then fled the scene, leaving the hospital staff and patients in a state of panic.
The Gem Kidney Hospital, located in the Vanasthalipuram area, is a prominent healthcare facility in the region. The hospital's staff and patients were shocked by the sudden and unprovoked attack by the group of youths. "The hospital is a place where people come to seek medical attention, and it's disturbing to see such violent behavior outside our premises," said a hospital staff member.
The local residents are increasingly concerned about the growing menace of ganja consumption in the area. "The ganja gang's behavior is becoming more and more brazen, and it's only a matter of time before they cause more harm to innocent people," said a local resident. The police have registered a case against the attackers and are currently searching for the six individuals involved in the incident.
The incident has highlighted the need for increased vigilance and security measures in the area, particularly around hospitals and other public places. The police need to take swift action to apprehend the culprits and put an end to the ganja gang's activities, which are causing fear and anxiety among the local residents.
In recent years, Hyderabad has witnessed a rise in substance abuse, particularly among the youth. The city's proximity to the borders of other states, where cannabis is readily available, has contributed to the growing problem. The authorities need to take a proactive approach to address the issue, including increasing awareness about the dangers of substance abuse and providing support to those affected by it.
The attack on the hospital receptionist is a stark reminder of the need for a concerted effort to tackle the issue of substance abuse in the city. The police, healthcare professionals, and local authorities must work together to identify the root causes of the problem and develop effective strategies to address it.
In the meantime, the hospital staff and patients are in a state of shock, and the local residents are on high alert. The incident has left a sense of unease in the community, and it will take a concerted effort to restore a sense of safety and security in the area.
