All is not well in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s parliamentary constituency of Varanasi where over two dozen medical officers who are in-charge of Community Health Centres (CHCs) and Primary Health Centres (PHCs) tendered their resignation, blaming the Deputy Collector of mentally torturing them and threatening to lodge an FIR against them for ‘failing to control COVID-19 infection’.
The resignations came the day Additional Chief Medical Officer (ACMO) Dr Jung Bahadur died ostensibly of COVID -19. However, the doctors claimed that he was threatened by the same Deputy Collector, who is acting as assistant Nodal officer for COVID-19 of the district, of suspension and dismissal from service.
