Telangana Government Doctors Association allege fraud

After the initial reports emerged in Telangana over the appointment of doctors in government colleges being filled from Andhra Pradesh, the ongoing row took another turn, with the Telangana Government Doctors' Association (TGDA) alleging a fraud in the process.
The Kamalanathan committee is overseeing the matter of bifurcation and repatriation of doctors. Now, during an initial scrutiny by the TGDA joint action committee, the association has alleged that the records of these 72 Andhra-origin doctors working in medical teaching colleges in the city show that they are not from Telangana or Andhra Pradesh.
A further allegation by the TGDA implies that if the records of such appointed ‘non state’ doctors clearly show that they do not belong to either state, than their allocation process is all the more laded with suspicion. It is a strong indication of the discretionary powers vested with the Kamalanathan committee.
As reported by TOI, "We are sure that some vested interests have helped these 72 Andhra-origin doctors so that they do not submit their their study certificates to claim non-local status, only to benefit during the final allocation," said Dr M Uma Shankar, chairman, TGDA joint action committee.
