Termination of Medical Officers

Sir,
This refers to editorial “Termination of Medical Officer” (Daily Excelsior 23.04.2019). As the Department of Health and Medical Education has terminated many medical officers for not joining their duties , it is the duty of the department to issue appointment orders in favour of candidates figuring in the waiting list. As per business rules of JK Public Service Commission waiting list is valid for one year and is extendable to another six months. There are many selected candidates who have joined as Medical Officers in Health Department but continue to be present in Medical Colleges where they are enrolled as Post Graduation students. This is injustice with the candidates who are in the waiting list and having touched the upper age limit for Government job (39 years). The PG students can get a chance for appointment in Govt service but those already 38 or 39 years of age have no such chance. It is an earnest request to Principal Secretary Health & Medical Education and Chairman PSC to do justice with such medical graduates
