Pathak issued the order after a delegation of Uttar Pradesh's accredited correspondents committee led by its president Hemant Tiwari met him and apprised him that earlier there was an arrangement of separate counters for journalists in government hospitals but it was discontinued.

"Due to long queues in general counters at government hospitals it became difficult to procure medicines from there," Tiwari said, news agency PTI reported.
