As a measure to inspect essential services in the district, the DC visited the hospital at around 11:30 pm on Sunday night. Right upon reaching, the Deputy Commissioner checked the attendance register and found it improperly maintained. It was observed that some of the staff was absent from duty. The DC was appalled to find that the list of doctors on duty was also not displayed and the same was found locked inside the Superintendent’s office.
The doctors scheduled to be on duty were immediately summoned and questioned by the DC, among whom, two doctors, namely Dr Rekha and Dr Pooja did not bother to pick phone in dereliction of duty.

An enquiry under ADDC Reasi, Ramesh Chander has been initiated to look into the irregularities and propose relevant corrective measures and to take suitable action. In the meantime, salary of Dr Rekha and Dr Pooja is to be stopped till further orders.
