Srinagar: In a recent administrative move aimed at addressing staff imbalances in peripheral healthcare institutions, the Jammu and Kashmir government has ordered the immediate repatriation of doctors who have overstayed their deputation or tenure postings at Government Medical Colleges (GMC) in Jammu and Srinagar.
The directive was issued on Monday by the Secretary of Health and Medical Education, Dr. Abid Rasheed Shah, in response to what the department described as "unauthorised extensions" of postings beyond the permissible limits.
