Asit Kumar Mal speaks on the need for antivenom and anti-dog bite medicines in govt hospitals

FULL TRANSCRIPT

I would like to draw your kind attention to the increase of snake bites and dog bites during the seasons of monsoon and autumn. A large number of people throughout the country, including West Bengal, have lost their lives prematurely. There is a short supply of antivenom and antidotes in government hospitals. 

Sir, I would like to draw special attention of the Honourable Prime Minister to this serious problem so that antivenoms and antidotes are urgently supplied to the government hospitals to prevent premature deaths from snake and dog bites. Thank you.
