139 doctors of Delhi Govt hospitals get promotions after LG's approval

Saxena has approved the promotion of these doctors from Grade-II to Grade-I, they said.

Ever since taking over, Saxena has been insisting on providing better service conditions and facilities to medical professionals working in government hospitals and had undertaken to "ensure due promotions to them at the earliest," a senior official said.

Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that coming down heavily on the Delhi government, the High Court had ordered the state government to ensure full payment of wages of various workers deployed at Maharishi Valmiki Hospital within two weeks. This came after nine Nursing orderlies at Delhi government-run Maharishi Valmiki Hospital informed the court that their wages have not been paid since April 12 last year. Justice Rekha Palli issued the direction in an interim order on petitions filed by nine workers. The counsel for the petitioners submitted that they had been compelled to approach this Court as the learned Labour Court didn't direct the respondent to ensure that the petitioners are paid their due wages.
