A Physician Assistant at the facility said the situatioon was alarming adding that its making it cumbersome for them to operarte. 

Meanwhile according to officials at the centre, the District Assembly has been informed about the imminent problem existing at the facility, but claimed that the Assembly is yet to make any move on the ground.
