Delhi CM Recommends Transfer of 39 Doctors Amid Health Department Restructuring
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has recommended transferring 39 doctors who have served in Tihar and Mandoli jails for five years or more, some since 2014, to improve health service efficiency. The proposal, sent to Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu, includes deploying around 35 replacement doctors, totaling approximately 74 transfers. This move follows a recent large-scale restructuring in the Central Procurement Agency amid an anti-corruption investigation into procurement irregularities. The government aims to enhance human resource management and institutional capacity in healthcare.
