| IDA submits demands to CM | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 3 : The Indian Dental Association (IDA), Jammu branch, submitted a charter of demands to the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah at Srinagar. These demands include setting up of separate directorate of dental services in J&K on the pattern of Himachal Pradesh and other neighbouring states. The charter pointed out that dentistry has emerged as an independent specialty with colleges imparting exclusive knowledge and training in the subject of dentistry that cannot be taught in medical colleges. The IDA also demanded implementation of the rules of the J&K State Dental Council that provide that the office of the council shall move with the durbar to Jammu and Srinagar. However, the dentist fraternity in Jammu province was suffering as the office was permanently stationed at Srinagar as a result of which the dentists have to travel all the way to Srinagar for petty matters. It demanded that the government should take steps to provide employment to all unemployed dentists by filling vacant posts and creating fresh posts. The IDA demanded that the government should initiate a scheme to provide interest free loan to unemployed dentists for setting up their own clinics. Dr. Gautam Sharma, general secretary of the IDA submitted the charter of demands in the private office of the Chief Minister at Sonwar in Srinagar. Dr.Ritesh Gupta, President IDA, said that the association has already brought the problems of clinical registration and annual registration faced by the dentists to the notice of the Chief Minister, health minister, and President Dental Council of India, New Delhi. Dr. Bhupinder Singh, President elect of IDA and Dr. Rajeev Mengi, Treasurer of IDA and Oral Pathologist at Institute of Dental Sciences, Jammu, said that the association is trying its best to safeguard the rights of dentists of Jammu province. |
