Chhattisgarh: IAS Doctor faces flak on social media for uncivil manners
Chhattisgarh: Standing on a wrong foot has got a young IAS officer in a social media soup recently. While on a round in a state hospital, Dr Jagdish Sonkar, the 2013-batch IAS officer was caught in a picture standing in a wrong pose.
His picture went viral for all wrong reasons, since it captured him using his left foot for resting on one side of the bed. His foot was on the steel rail of the hospital bed.
This happened during his interaction with a sick child’s mother lying on the hospital bed during a routine round of inspection in the hospital. The doctor holds a medical degree, and was interacting with different mothers getting their malnourished children’s treatment at the hospital.
He is the sub-divisional magistrate of Ramanujganj in Balrampur district.
Sonkar told Hindustan Times that he went to the hospital with a good intention and examined some patients as well. “My action was unintentional and avoidable,” he said.
