Cuttack: Odisha government assured the Orissa High Court that steps would be taken within seven days to begin the recruitment process to fill up the posts of associate professors lying vacant in all the three government run medical colleges.
Chief Secretary Bijay Patnaik, who appeared personally before the Division Bench of Justice B P Das and Justice Indrajit Mahanti on the day along with the Health secretary P K Mohapatra and Director of Medical Education and Training (DMMET) P K Dash, guaranteed that the posts of around 109 associate professors in the government teaching hospitals would be filled up within one month.
Patnaik also expressed regret when the Bench drew the attention of the government that certain officers of the health department are not cooperating with the High Court appointed Advocates Committee, which is visiting several
health institutions to evaluate the problems of the hospitals and suggesting ways to improve the health care facilities.
This reference was made to a specific complaint made by the members of the Committee against a certain administrative officer of the SCB medical college and hospital who had allegedly shown disrespect to the members of the Committee during their recent visit to the Hospital.
The Chief Secretary assured the High Court that disciplinary action against the erring official would be initiated and further said that such things would not recur.
