Dr. Mukhul Bhatnagar told UNI that the government has passed orders that the new appointees in the medical department as doctors with have no NPA which he described was unfortunate. He said that it was for the first time after 1971 when the state came into being that such a decision was taken by the government. He said that such a draconian decision has been taken by the government without prior consultation of the medical fraternity. He described the decision as arbitrary and ' Tagaluqi' and needs to be rolled back.
Dr. Monika Pathania Vice President Himachal Pradesh Medical Officers Association told UNI that the doctors in the state were under working burden as the posts were still vacant so much that during the Medical Council of India inspections the doctors of the one Medical College were shifted to another new medical college for temporary period so that the medical colleges remain recognized.
