IGMC affiliate SRL Lab rejects Rs 500, Rs 1,000 notes

Shimla, Nov 17 (UNI) Premier health institution Indra Gandhi Medical College Hospital (IGMC) was not able to transact old currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 as its affiliate SRL Diagnostics, a private pathology lab, refused to take the denomination, forcing thousands of patients and their attendants to suffer for the want of treatment.
Talking to UNI, senior Medical Officer of IGMC Ramesh Chand said it could not press SRL to take Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes as the same were banned by the Modi government. However, it was causing problem to the people, moreover the hospital could not force a private entity to transact the banned currency.
''I have a number of similar complaints from the patients and media queries regarding not accepting the Rs 500 notes. However, IGMC was accepting it for its own services. Moreover, SRL staff showed inability to accept such notes, for which I could not press the issue as it is beyond his power," Dr Chand said.
