Speaking at a meeting held here on Wednesday, women councillors said the DHQ Hospital’s administration had most of the time referred the autopsy of women’s bodies to THQ hospitals Wazirabad and Kamoke for want of MO.
They said miseries of the heirs mounted when hospitals’ staff at Wazirabad and Kamoke also declined to conduct the autopsy, saying that bodies did not belong to their jurisdiction.

They demanded that the authorities concerned should immediately fill all vacant posts of women medical officers in the DHQ Hospital.
