Sarkar and his small team of social activists recently visited Dhubri Civil Hospital and saw the filthy condition inside every ward in it. Recently Sarkar and his team exposed the corruption in the Panchayat and Rural Development Department and in Dhubri Revenue Circle office, resulting in arrests and transfer of several officials.

Talking to The Sentinel, Simul Sarkar informed that the Dhubri Civil Hospital had long been in the grip of touts who not only call the shots in every matter, but also dupe poor patients in the name of managing everything for them. "There is shortage of physicians, medicines, paramedic staff and cleaners. The corridors and toilets are unhygienic," he alleged.
