“Misbehaviour despite working with limited resources”
“We will not fight under the banner of Provincial Medical Services (PMS) association. This is our fight. The DM and CMO misbehave with us even after we have been working in limited resources in rural areas for the past one year. Instead of cooperating, administration officers misbehave with us,” Dr Sanjiv alleged.

“Our work is being reviewed by the sub divisional magistrate (SDM) and block development officer (BDO) level officers,” he added.
The agitated doctors claimed that their salaries were also withheld several times.
However, Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Ashutosh Kumar refuted all the claims and said all the doctors have returned to their work.
