Srinagar, Oct 21 (KNS): Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) today condemned the abnormal and psychotic behavior of District Development Commissioner Reasi for harassing a senior doctor, Dr Ashwani Bhagat. It seems the said official is patient of power arrogance and he is not able to understand how shameful act he has done by arresting the on duty doctor, when around more than 100 patients were waiting for his consultation.
Dr Ashwani was sent by MS DH Reasi to visit DC Reasi for some health related issue. After giving professional consultation, Dr Bhagat requested the DC to let him go back to hospital where more than 100 patients were waiting for his consultation. But DC Reasi in the garb of VIP racism didn’t allowed the said doctor to go back and continue his duties. While making multiple requests to deputy commissioner that more than 100 patients who are in pain and agony, and have came from different far flung areas of hilly district turned said DC in to rage of anger and he ordered for on spot arrest.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp ChannelSuch an act of rowdiness from a most important official is certainly uncalled-for and is condemnable beyond words.
Meanwhile Doctors Association Kashmir fully supports the protest program given by Doctor's Association Jammu (DAJ) and threatened that they will also proceed on the strike if action under laws is not taken against accused. The said DC must tender an unconditional apology to the concerned doctor before things may go out of hand.
Furthermore, DAK advises Health administrators not to send any doctor for home consultations to any VIP, if such duty doesn't fall under the ambit of CSR. (KNS)
