The Telangana Gandhi Doctors’ Association has registered a protest with Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan following 50 doctors from Andhra region declaring them as part of Telangana.
The protesting doctors allege that even if these doctors from Gandhi Hospital were not from the region, they incorrectly put their nativity as Telangana.
The director of Health and Medical Education released a list of 560 doctors. The list is now being scrutinized by the T doctors who are checking whether there are false claims being made.
As said by Dr R. Raghu of Gandhi Hospital, “A person whose primary education has been in the Telangana region from Class IV to Class X will be considered as a native. The rest of them are not to be considered according to the Presidential order. We are hence checking the varsities of doctors whom we know from so many years to have belonged to the Andhra region.”
Additional director of medical education Dr K. Venkatesh said, “The data on the website is taken from the service record of the employees. The service record is based on what the employee stated when he joined service. If there are omissions, then they can be rectified. But there is no clear cut rule yet. It is merely an exercise where all data is being put up on the website for scrutiny and also clarity for the respective individual.”
But, the Telangana doctors are very wide awake and said that once the final bifurcation comes along, they want to ensure that they are in maximum numbers. With this spirit every data on the government website is undergoing a heavy scrutiny.
