Triennial Report of the Punjab Mental Hospital,
Lahore, for the period 1930 to 1932.
IT is to be regretted that the optimistic forecast
recorded in the last triennial report has not been ful-
filled owing to adverse financial and other circum-
stances. Whereas, a few years ago, the Government
accepted the fact that a considerable increase of expen-
diture would have to be faced if the Hospital were to
be modernized, the recent world crisis has made it
impossible to incur additional expenditure. Indeed,
the reverse has been the case, and severe retrenchment
has been the guiding principle of administration during
the last three years.
2. Establishment—Although certain additions to
the staff are indicated and have been recommended,
no new posts have been created in the establishment
of the institution, with the exception of an additional
temporary clerk to assist the accountant. This post
has only been sanctioned for 6 months, in the first in
stance, but it is necessary that it should be made per-
manent. In former years the Accountant-General,
Punjab, maintained a special staff of clerks to deal
with the recoveries of maintenance charges from the
District Boards, Municipal Committees, Cantonment
Boards, Notified Areas, Small Town Committees, and
Indian States who admit patients to the Punjab Mental
Hospital. Within the last year, the responsibility for
collecting these amounts has been placed on this insti-
tution. Its clerical staff was quite inadequate to accept
the additional burden. If all the amounts due from
local bodies were recovered the sum would aggregate
to Rs. 2,93,680 and the collection would necessitate the
maintenance of many hundreds of separate accounts.
On a recommendation made by the Medical Superin-
tendent a few years ago, the system of obtaining mainten-
ance charges from local bodies is being radically altered.
If the necessary legislation is introduced in due course,
a further reference will be made to this matter in the
next triennial report.
2
The only other alteration in the establishment is
one of great practical importance. For 30 years the
Mental Hospital for Women has been supervised by
Franciscan Nuns. Apart from the fact that these
ladies had had practically no training in modern hospital
methods, many administrative difficulties were experi-
enced. The chief was that it was impossible to define
them a Government servants, although the Government
paid them larger salaries than most trained nursing sisters.
The greatest praise is due to some of these Franciscan
Nuns, particularly the late Mother Simon, Mother
Veronica and Sister Eleanore. But the decision of Gov-
ernment to replace them by a staff of five trained hospital
nursing sisters will undoubtedly increase efficiency.
3. Accommodation, new building, etc.—The accom-
modation for patients is sufficient for the males, but
some overcrowding is apparent in the Mental Hospital
for Women. Acute congestion exists in the attendants
lines. The Re-construction Committee which met in
1929 made the strongest representations that many new
quarters should be built for the attendants and staff, but
on account of the financial stringency, to which refer-
ence has been made above, not a single additional
quarter has been built. If an epidemic were to break
out among the attendants it would inevitably lead to
very great mortality. It is, therefore, highly neces-
sary that this contingency should be brought to the
notice of the Government.
4. Sanitation.—None of the defects referred to in
previous reports has been remedied. The Mian Mir
Storm Water Channel (Chauburji Drain) continues to be
a continual menace to the health and the lives of thou-
sands of individuals who are obliged to live in its
vicinity. Within the last few weeks a notification has
been received that steps are likely to be taken to
improve matters. The proceedings of a meeting of the
Sanitary Board held on 26th November, 1932, are as
follows "Mian Mir Storm Water Channel—Read endorse-
ment No. 6808-G., by the Director of Public Health,
Punjab, dated the 21st June, 1932, forwarding a copy of
the Superintending Engineer, Public Health Circle's
letter, stating that in spite of paucity of funds, it is most
3
desirable on public health grounds that the above
scheme should be placed in charge of his department for
maintenance.
" Resolved that Government be approached to re-
constitute the Board already agreed upon by the three
parties concerned,—viz. , the Military, the Municipal
Committee, and the Punjab Government with the
proviso that the Superintending Engineer, Public Health
Circle, should be nominated as Executive Officer of the
Board and that maintenance of the Channel from the
Cantonment to the Ravi should be vested in him and he
should realise the maintenance charges from the three
parties concerned in the terms of the agreement arrived
at in 1919.''
As in the case of other recommendations made by
the Re-organisation and Re-construction Committee no
practicable steps have yet been taken.
5. Population.— The tables attached to this report
indicate that during the years 1931 and 1932 there has
been a decrease in the daily average strength, and also
in the maximum number of patients under treatment on
any one night during these years. The average daily
strength for the years 1930, 1931 and 1932 are
1,009, 993 and 989, respectively. The reason for this
drop is that during the year 1930 the patients belonging
to the Delhi Municipal Committee were transferred to
the Mental Hospital at Agra. Also, since then the
patients who used formerly to be admitted from this
large local body are now sent to the cheaper institution.
It is gratifying to report that the death rate for
1932 has been the lowest on record for the last 28 years.
There were only 76 deaths during this year as compared
with 132 in 1931 and 91 in 1930. The percentage of
deaths to the daily average strength for the years 1930,
1931 and 1932 are 9.02, 12.28 and 7.68. At the same
time the percentage of cured to the daily average
strength is the highest on record since 1918. During the
3 years under review the number of patients discharged
as cured are 157, 162 and 186 yielding percentages
respectively of 15.85, 16.31 and 18.81.

It is always extremely difficult to prevent escapes,
especially among patients who are working the fields
and gardens. Only trustworthy non-criminal patients
are employed on such work, but the opinion formed
with regard to the reliability of such patients is often not
justified. Escapes from the Mental Hospital should be no
ground for adverse comment and criticism There are
tens of thousands of insane individuals at large in the
Punjab and three or four more (or even a hundred
more) can make very little difference to the general
public. Indeed, the harmless, non-criminal garden
worker is infinitely less dangerous than a large propor-
tion of the insane who are still in their own towns and
villages.
The only escape of interest during the triennium was
that of a small statured patient Gunga, who made for
himself a ladder consisting of a long branch of a tree to
which he had tied four one-foot lengths of bamboo. The
branch must have been obtained sometimes before when
the trees were being trimmed. This patient escaped
from a large barrack by climbing through the roof, and
with his ladder he escaladed two walls. He is one of
two patients who have escaped during the triennium
and who have not yet been recovered.
Of the two deaths from violence which occurred
during 1932 the first was due to rupture of an enlarged
spleen. This is the usual cause of death in such cases.
The second was a deliberate murder by Rahim Gul, a
most dangerous homicidal maniac. He had already
murdered a patient, in circumstances related in the last
triennial report. At 6.30 A.M on the 5th June, 1932, he
suddenly seized a brick, rushed up the steps of the
Quarantine section and struck another patient upon the
head. The Daffadar of the section, attendant Sant Ram,
5
pursued him closely and seized him, but Rahim Gul
struck him also senseless with the brick. Other atten-
dants followed at a short distance, but when they arrived
on the scene, Rahim Gul had already reduced the head
of Chowth to pulp by repeated blows, had seated him-
self across the chest of the Daffadar, and was on the
point of treating him in the same manner. In January,
1933, this patient committed a third murder, the circum-
stances of which will be related in the next triennial
report. An enquiry into the matter by a committee
appointed by Government is still proceeding.
Occupations and Em-
ployment.
7. As already indicated in previous triennial reports
a very high proportion of patients
are employed in useful occupations.
The most popular is gardening, and
in this connection an attempt has been made to raise a
large number of fruit trees. In former years, the
patients used frequently to complain at certain times of
the year that the vegetables were of a very poor
quality. There was a great deal of justification for these
complaints, but within the last year or two steps have
been taken to ensure that there is no cause for such
representations.
8. Reference has been made in the above paragraphs
to some of the disabilities and handicaps under which the
staff of this institution labours, viz., acute overcrowding
and exposure to exceptional violence and danger. To
this must be added the reduction in salaries which
particularly
effects new
employees. They are
seriously overworked at times and their hours of
duty, even under ordinary circumstances, are longer
than those of warders in the Provincial jails. They
are very far removed from the amenities of the city. They
are exposed to the risk of serious injury and death.
Nevertheless, they are naturally cheerful and carry out
their duties conscientiously and efficiently. In spite of
the fact that Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, and Christians
are employed, there has been only one occasion* during
the last ten years for communal friction. The staff can
only be kept contented and under proper discipline
*The circumstances have been reported to Government under this office letter
No. C.-6, dated 13th November 1931, and C.-10, dated 24th November 1931.

by fairness, impartiality and consideration for their
welfare. The water tax is a legitimate cause for grie-
vance and dissatisfaction. It is respectfully suggested
that it should either be waived or that only the actual
cost, viz. , 2½ annas per thousand gallons, should be
charged.
