Govt Doctor suspended after being found absent from duty
Doctor Skipping Duty Faces Suspension
Athmakur: A government doctor posted at the Rural Health Centre in Kuralla village under Yadadri Bhongir district was suspended on Friday for absenteeism and falsifying attendance records. The action was taken following a surprise inspection by District Collector Hanumanth Rao.
According to the news reports, during the surprise visit, the collector discovered that both the doctor and the ANM were absent from the health facility. When questioned, Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) present at the centre informed him that the ANM had gone to the Primary Health Centre (PHC) to collect medicines. However, villagers reported that the doctor had a long-standing pattern of irregular attendance — reportedly turning up for duty just one day a week.
