Early Times Report
Jammu, May 4: Higher-ups of the J&K bureaucracy has turned Jammu’s premier health institute-Government Medical College and Hospital (GMC) Jammu as a laboratory to conduct experiments of their ‘transfer industry’.
It is widely alleged that due to this inhuman attitude of the higher-ups that GMC has virtually turned into a ‘slaughter house’ as every day this health institution is recording the highest number of COVID deaths across the Union Territory.
Instead of streamlining the functioning of this prestigious institute-which caters to the need of the residents of 10 districts of Jammu province, higher-ups in the corridors of power tried to make it rehabilitating centre of their blue-eyed doctors and officers.
When the second wave of Coronavirus was at its peak, authorities transferred KAS Amit Sharma from the post of Administrator GMC and Associates Hospitals. Although Amit Sharma has completed his tenure, his transfer amid the peak of deadly virus raised many eyebrows.
On October 4, 2020, an upright KAS officer, known for his integrity and honesty, Nagendra Jamwal, was appointed as Administrator GMC and Associates Hospitals. People of Jammu were hoping that Jamwal will bring some changes during his tenure as Administrator but within six months he was transferred and in his place, another KAS officer Rachna Sharma was appointed on the same post on March 31, 2021. Babus were much aware that the deadly second wave of Coronavirus was started at that time but Nagendra Jamwal was transferred at that time when he was trying to streamline the system.
Shockingly on May 3, Rachna Sharma was transferred from the same post and asked to report General Administration Department (GAD). At a time when the second wave of Coronavirus is at its peak, the transfer of administrator has shocked everybody.
As per Government Order No. 405-JK(GAD) of 2021, Dated: 03.05.2021, “In view of the emerging situation due to outbreak of Corona virus (COVID-19) and in the interest of administration, Mr. Ashwani Khajuria, KAS, awaiting orders of adjustment in the General Administration Department, is hereby deployed to discharge the duties of Administrator, Associated Hospitals, Jammu, till further orders Further, Rachna Sharma, KAS, Administrator, Associated Hospitals, Jammu, shall report to the General Administration Department, till final orders, are issued”. |
