Bihar: An embarrassing situation has surrounded the state health department after it issued a mega transfer list which included the names of those doctors who are either deceased or retired from their service.
The notification on the transfer of doctors in the state was issued on June 21, while the Bihar Health Minister Mangal Pandey was attending International Yoga Day celebrations. Some of the Blunders as reported by the New Indian Express include
- As per the listing, Dr Ashok Kumar Mishra, who had just eight days of service left before his retirement, has been transferred as the superintendent of the Sadar Hospital in Katihar.
- Dr SK Singh, who served as the medical officer for communicable diseases in Purnea district before he retired in January, was mentioned in the list and in fact, has been transferred as an additional chief medical officer in Madhepura district.
