In his press statement, Jan said that transfers of doctors in most of the institutions of Poonch are not implemented properly which takes toll over the system.
“Most of the doctors donot even join their place of postings in Poonch after transfers are ordered by ministry and later get their orders modified which is the main loophole for the system” said Jan.
