Chhattisgarh initiates action against absconding doctors

RAIPUR, NOV. 21. The Chhattisgarh government has initiated action to dismiss as many as 135 doctors, who were allegedly "absconding" from service for over three years, official sources said.

"The doctors have been absconding from service for the past three years and no one has any information where these government doctors were," health department sources said here today.

"An internal inquiry also revealed that some doctors had never joined the State after Madhya Pradesh was bifurcated and the medicos concerned had been assigned to the Chhattisgarh cadre," the sources said, adding some doctors after submitting their joining report went missing since 2000.

"The fact that 135 doctors and 80 contractual doctors were absconding from service came to light when the Health Minister Krishna Murty Bandhi was investigating the reasons for the collapse of rural health services," they said.

"Hence, the department has initiated a combined departmental enquiry (DE) to dismiss them from service in a single order", they said.
