| Attachments go unabated in NHRM Rajouri, CMO feigns ignorance | | | A B Sharma
Early Times Report
Rajouri, June 2: Though the essence of NRHM (National Rural Health Mission) is to provide succour to the general populace, for tehsils Nowshera and Sunderbani of Rajouri, the mission appears to extend benefit to its workers only.
The practice is unabated in both the tehsils while the top authorities express ignorance on this front or claim that they have no such knowledge.
Having become the bastion of illegal transfers, these tehsils over the years have been witnessing rampant attachments and transfers of the nurses of the NRHM at their choice place of postings in return of handsome bribe to the mission which is equally distributed in the hierarchy.
The incumbent Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Suresh Kumar, under whose direction all transfers and attachments are affected, had a weird answer to Early Times' query as to how so many attachments and transfers are made without any official procedure followed. "You get me the names of the transferees and I will initiate proceedings against them," he replied.
Astonishingly, all transfers and attachments are itself conducted by the CMO office. As per the details available with Early Times, the nurses appointed under the NRHM scheme are bound to execute their duties under the jurisdictions and the Primary Health Centres allotted to them as per the list released of their appointments. But the general practice in Sunderbani and Nowshera is that after working for only couple of months at their original postings, these nurses have been influencing the CMO to get their postings done in the Primary Health Centres nearby their homes and in its wake have been shelling handsome amount to the CMO .
Though the CMO washed off his hands from the allegations levied against him for supporting the illicit attachments of the nurses , the sources in the mission programme said that he is the nodal person who is rampantly running the transfer industry, apparently in connivance with the higher authorities as well as the other hierarchy in the mission which is equal beneficiary.
The sufferers on the other hand having no other option to list their grievance have called upon the Heath minister Devendar Manyal to take the cognisance of the issues and relive the suffering of the people, particularly the women folk. |
