GMC Jammu principal seeking VRS over alleged interference of extra-institutional officials shifted from post

According to Hindustan Times, in the letter, he alleged that there are "some extra-institutional officers, one or two heads of departments and some faculty members, who are bypassing the departmental hierarchy and approaching administrative department in technical, professional and administrative matters."

The letter further added that "Such interferences in the internal working of the principal office will create scope for anarchy, indiscipline and further demeaning of the office. This will further create a space for the GMC employees to create a nuisance."

The doctor did not blame or name any particular official for his decision.

In the letter, he sought the permission of the authorities to terminate his services quoting that "if my services are not being liked by anybody, I offer to get voluntary retirement."

However, authorities have not commented on the issue, rather the Financial Commissioner of Health and Medical Education Atal Dullo issued the letter stating that "in the interest of administration and patient care, it is hereby ordered the Dr. Nasheed Chand Digra, the principal, Government Medical College Jammu is transferred and posted as secretary (technical) in the Health and Medical Education Department. During his posting, as secretary, his salary shall be drawn against the post of principal Government Medical College Jammu."
