GMC Jammu withdraws Staff Alert Directive amid Cross-border tensions

However, yesterday, the Principal and Dean of GMC Jammu, Dr. Ashutosh Gupta, issued another directive formally withdrawing the April 25 circular without explaining the decision. 

"The circular issued by Medical Superintendent GMCH Jammu vide endorsement number GMCH/2025/812 dated 25.4.2025 is withdrawn ab-initio with immediate effect," reads the latest circular. 

Medical Dialogues had recently reported that a brutal act of terrorism in Pahalgam, which left the nation in mourning and rage, tore a family's world apart. A Bengaluru-based paediatrician's husband, a father, a simple man on a family vacation, was mercilessly shot even after he begged for his life. Not for himself, but for his three-year-old son.

But his cries were unheard, and he was lying on the ground, bleeding with bullet holes in his head and body after being shot for three minutes non-stop. In an instant, a child was orphaned, a wife was shattered, and a peaceful holiday turned into a lifelong nightmare.

The deceased man was Bharath Bhushan, a 41-year-old former software professional from Bengaluru, who was mercilessly shot dead by terrorists in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, on Tuesday in front of his wife, Dr Sujatha, a paediatrician at M.S. Ramaiah Medical College and Hospital and their three-year-old son.
