For unauthorized absence from duties, Government on Friday has issued final show cause notice to 16 doctors in Jammu and Kashmir.
According to a notice issued by Health and Medical Education Department, “many notices were served to these doctors by Director Health Services, Jammu/Kashmir. In some cases an opportunity was given to them to resume their duties immediately, otherwise disciplinary action shall be initiated against them as warranted under rules,” reads an official handout.
According to the department , the doctor neither replied to notice nor reported back for duties and
