The Jammu and Kashmir Government on Saturday terminated two doctors with immediate effect on their unauthorized absence.
The services of both the doctors were terminated for their un-authoriesed absence from their duties where they were posted.
Dr. Zaz, who had been serving as a Medical Officer, had submitted a leave application to the CMO, Budgam for 89 days to attend a marriage function in Canada. However, after the leave period elapsed, he failed to return to his duties, leading to his termination.
In another case, Dr. Kour, also a Medical Officer, had applied for study leave lasting one year at GMC, Baramulla. She too did not rejoin her duties after the leave period ended, resulting in her termination.
The termination orders were issued by the Health & Medical Education Department of the Jammu and Kashmir Government, citing violation of rules and regulations regarding unauthorized absence.
