Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) has castigated the callous approach of authorities in
intervening the matter where SDM Zainapora talked rudely and misbehaved with senior
consultant surgeon who had come out of operation theater after completing surgical procedures
at CHC Zainapora.
DAK has been peacefully protesting since yesterday to stress authorities to take disciplinary
action against the concerned SDM but the authorities both at the Directorate & Ministerial level
seems to be unmoved about the incident which is utterly shameful and deplorable.
A delegation of DAK led by its president Dr Suhail Naik met Director Health Services Kashmir Dr
Saleem ur Rehman today wherein the delegation demanded that a strict action to be taken
against the SDM and to stop this undue interference & harasssement by low rung officers. He
assured the delegation of resolving the matter but DAK is skeptical about the outcome and it has
been decided to go ahead with 2 hour pen down strike tomorrow and in that context a
letter(copyenclosed) has been shot to Hon’ble CM Ms Mehbooba Mufti, Hon’ble Health Minister
Mr Bali Bhagat, Divisional Commisioner Kashmir, Mr Baseer Khan and all the hospital
administrators across state.
Dr Suhail Naik said that , keeping patient care as top most priority DAK tried its level best to
highlight this grave issue peacefully but unfortunately Govt. , Health & District Administration
failed miserably which leaves us with no option but to go for 2 hour pen down strike from 10 am
to 12 o’clock tomorrow barring emergencies, ICUs and emergency operations. The initensity of
protests will increase if Govt. fails to take appropraiate action against SDM as per service rules.
Moreover DAK appeals the public to cooperate with us in this moment of agony and gloom
among health personnel
