JAMMU, Aug 6: Dr Anil Kumar Dhar, Assistant Professor, Government Medical College, Jammu in Department of Medicines has quit the job despite having 12 years of active service to join the politics.
Announcing his decision at a press conference here, today Dr Dhar said that he took premature retirement from Government service despite his well wishers strongly dissuading him from doing so.
Dr Dhar, said he intends to contest from Jammu West Constituency and he would strive hard to solve the problems of “Bijli”, “Sadak” and “Pani” being faced by the people.
Dr Dhar, while assigning reasons for quitting the job and joining politics said that with his official position, it was not possible for him to improve the situation even in the Health Sector much less to speak of the other sectors of the Government because of the constraints of the official position held by him. “So I took a harsh decision to quit my job to serve people and make a sincere endeavor to improve the system from outside”, he added.
He said this was not an emotional decision but a well thought of step as “I firmly believe that if you want you can do it”.
He said “I would seek the mandate of the people to become member of the legislative Assembly of the State and try to contribute towards improvement of public services at a rapid pace”.
