Witch-hunt, claim RG Kar doctors as some get 'punishment' jobs
Photo/Agencies KOLKATA: Three senior resident (SR) doctors who were the prominent faces of the RG Kar movement have allegedly been given 'punishment' postings in Bengal, sparking a row. A large section of the medical community has accused the Mamata Banerjee government of 'witch-hunting' by flouting the counselling process, while TMC said it can't allow the protesters to cash in on the movement. On Tuesday, junior doctors went to seek clarification from officials in Kolkata. Denied the audience, they said they will protest against the 'injustice'. Senior doctors' bodies like Association of Health Service Doctors, Service Doctors Forum and Medical Service Centre have come forward to support them. Health officials refused to comment. According to norms, all PG medical students must serve a bond posting for three years after completing the course. The final year PG results were published on Feb 28 and the counselling was completed on April 8. During counselling, the PG doctors are allocated places of posting according to the merit list and vacancies. After the counselling, candidates are made to sign an undertaking that the option they choose is final and they will not ask for a change in the future. "According to my ranking and the vacancy list, I opted for RG Kar during counselling. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Now, when the final list has come, I find that I have been posted to Raiganj Medical College. This is vendetta," said Aniket Makata, who completed his PG in anaesthesia from RG Kar. Sources said all 871 junior doctors on the list of the SR bond posting published on Tuesday were allotted postings as per the counselling, except Aniket Mahata, Asfakulla Naiya, both from RG Kar, and Debashis Halder of MCH. "The reason is our participation in RG Kar protests. The move is also destroying the sanctity of the counselling process, introduced two years ago to make it transparent," said Naiya. He had opted for Arambag Medical College but got his posting at Purulia Medical College as per the list. According to the rules, the doctors after completing PG need to serve a medical college for a year on bond, and for the next two years, they can be posted either in a district hospital or a sub-divisional hospital. According to Halder, he opted for Howrah District Hospital as he completed his one year of posting at Regional Institute of Ophthalmology. But he has been asked to go to Gajol sub-divisional hospital.
