Nitish dismisses 81 govt doctors in Bihar for prolonged absence

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on January 13 dismissed 81 doctors posted in various government hospitals across the State for missing from duty without notice for a long time. Friday’s move comes against the backdrop of several warnings to the missing doctors by Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav, who is also the Health Minister, to perform their duties properly or face dismissal. Additional Chief Secretary, S Siddharth, told that in some cases the doctors had not reported for duty for five years.
