The incident has sent shockwaves through Morigaon, particularly among the medical community, as Dr. Bordoloi was a well-known figure in emergency obstetric care at the district hospital. He had recently gained attention for performing 21 caesarean section deliveries within 10 hours in September. Following the marathon surgical session, the district health authority issued him a show-cause notice over alleged non-compliance with sterilization and patient-safety protocols.
