NEW DELHI: AIIMS Director P Venugopal, who had proceeded on leave more than a week ago after threatening to resign, resumed duty on Saturday. Sources close to the Director said the Dr Venugopal attended to patients in the ICU and went about his ``routine work''. Dr Venugopal had gone on leave from June 16, a day after he accused Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss of ``systematic dilution of the institutes autonomy and the director's authority'' and threatened to resign. He had also called on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh the same day and apprised him of the situation at AIIMS. The Health Ministry, bypassing the Director, had directly ordered appointment and transfers of some senior hospital functionaries. On June 21, the Health Ministry issued a notice to Dr Venugopal, seeking an explanation for going public on issues relating to the functioning of the premier institute. Dr Ramadoss, who also met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, had said the Health Secretary would do the follow up action. The AIIMS Director had alleged ``interference'' in day-to-day working of AIIMS and ``undermining'' of his authority by the Health Minister. The Director had said he was ``disturbed'' by the lack of respect towards AIIMS faculty, staff and students .- UNI
