Dehradun: Uttarakhand government will soon terminate the services of 118 doctors who have been absent from duty for years without explanation, reports Tanmayee Tyagi. The health department identified these doctors from across all 13 districts. The move also aims to create vacancies for other doctors, sources said.

\"These are doctors not just in remote locations but in the plains as well. They have not reported for work not just for weeks or months, but years - some as long as six years. Warnings were issued to them in the past as well, and now they were given a final notice saying they have 14 days to resume their duties and provide an explanation to the directorate general for their absence. Only an extremely genuine reason can be acceptable for this kind of lapse in duty,\" said Dr Anil Mohan Johri, joint director of health department.

The department is aiming to complete the termination process within two weeks, sources said. \n \n
