Discussing the issue during general body meeting of the Association, speakers said that due to the recent order issued by the GAD regarding posting of a non-technical person, there is strong resentment among the veterinarians.
Expressing displeasure at the intention of the Government for bureaucratization of the technical department, the members said the Government is deliberately ignoring the legitimate rights of the veterinarians.
The meeting decided that in case the order is not reverted at the earliest, the veterinarians will resort to peaceful agitation against the injustice done to them.
