"The faculty of Maulana Azad Medical College have wrongly interpreted the said order and are considering that it would lead to interference in day to day working of medical professionals." "In view of aforesaid, the order dated May 31 stands withdrawn with immediate effect," said a Delhi government fresh order issued to this effect.


Lok Nayak Jaiprakash Narayan (LNJP) Hospital is governed under the Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC). As per the old order, the office of the DGHS was proposed to be moved to the building block of LNJP in which its Medical Superintendent's office is located.


The faculty of MAMC, associated hospitals along with representatives of Federation of Resident Doctors Association (FORDA) had objected to the decision and had written to Delhi Lt Governor Najeeb Jung in this regard.
