Cabinet decision, as has been implemented
to 10 adhoc doctors in 1998, under
Government Order Number 594-ME of 1998
dated 29-9-1998, in relaxation of rules.
The adhoc Asstt. Surgeons are now facing
the same threat of their age bar as was
the case with those 10 adhoc doctors in
1998.
``The
Government and the Health Department, on
one side is giving awards and rewards to
the qualified service of those adhoc
Asstt Surgeons for their services at holy
cave during AmarnathYatra, natural
calamities and natural disasters while as
on the other hand, Government continues
to sleep over the issue of their
regularization for no obvious
reasons’’, he said.

who served during turmoil and war had
been rewarded and promoted but the adhoc
doctors, who served during difficult
times were not treated properly and being
asked to show their competence through
screening test after serving for last one
decade. He further pointed out that most
of the adhoc doctors were at the verge of
age bar and some have already crossed it.
Dr Hussain
further said that the Government has also
accepted their continuous service of 6 to
8 years with sincerity and dedication on
vacant posts when the health care system
of the State had almost collapsed
especially in the far-flung and rural
areas due to militancy and massive
migration of confirmed doctors to green
