According to residents of the area where the attack took place, the violence is mainly perpetrated by locals and it has been going on for a while. A few weeks ago, they broke into the hospital's lab and attacked the technicians and also broke into the doctors quarters to do same and carted away their valuables. The state government and hospital executives should please do something about the safely of corpers and everyone else in this area.
