The BMC’s Public Health Department has demanded an unconditional apology from NGO Praja Foundation for the health statistics collated by them. The civic body claimed that the statistics on diseases like dengue, malaria, tuberculosis and other issues provided by the NGO are “misleading”.
“It appears from the report that the whole aim of the exercise has been to malign the public body and mislead the citizens at large,”said a notice issued by the civic body on Friday. The BMC threatened action against the NGO if a public clarification is not issued by them. “It seems that you have done random collection of data from health facilities and added it, making it vague,” it stated.
