Delhi: In an unexpected event, as many as 31 junior residents employed at the COVID facility centre of Ram Leela Ground for a tenure of 3 months suddenly received their termination letter today.
The Medical Director of Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital issued an order disengaging some of the newly appointed junior doctors from their respective duties with immediate effect. In response, the junior doctors alleged that they were not given any prior intimation or notice regarding their disposal.
Almost 140 Junior Residents with MBBS qualifications were recruited purely on per day per shift basis to work at the temporarily established 500 bedded covid facility located at Ram Leela Ground, GTB Enclave, Delhi. Most of these doctors already joined by 13th or 14th May.
Narrating the ordeal, one of the Junior Doctors, Dr Nitin Bagari told Medical Dialogues, "Authorities hired us junior doctors at the COVID facility of Ram Leela Ground for 3 months. I joined the facility on 12th May and have been diligently serving all my duties. Today, when I tried to give my attendance, I was informed that I could not do so due to the directions of higher authorities. I returned and then got notice where almost 31 of us newly appointed Junior doctors got discharged from our duties suddenly and were asked to go home."
