SDM threatens doctor for not vacating chair, Doctors demand suspension
Rajasthan: In a shocking incident, a Rajasthan based Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Pilibanga misbehaved with the on-duty doctor of Community health centre on the mere issue of a chair. The video of this incident soon went viral on social media where the SDM can be seen bragging about her power and shouting at the doctor.
The SDM apparently paid a surprise visit to the Community Health Centre at Hanumangarh. There at the centre, she directed the duty doctor to get up from the chair and sit on another chair. The doctor politely denied this saying that he is treating the patients at the moment. He then requested the SDM to sit on another chair.
The refusal did not go well with the SDM who became furious about his denial and started shouting on him. She even called him "mentally disabled."
"I think that you are a newcomer and recently joined the services. Do you have any idea whom are you talking to? Do you have any idea that we have power to inspect any of the offices in my supervision?" the SDM apparently asked the doctor while bragging about her powers.
