Terming it as unfair, the Haryana Civil Medical Service Association has demanded immediate reinstatement of suspended Panchkula CMO Dr Jasjeet Kaur.

On Tuesday evening, the Haryana Government had issued the suspension orders of Panchkula CMO Dr Jasjeet Kaur apparently for her alleged failure to arrange a bed for a patient during the peak of the second wave when the bed occupancy rate was at an all-time high.
Suspended CMO writes to ACS, Health
Suspended Panchkula CMO Dr Jasjeet Kaur has written to the Additional Chief Secretary (ACS) to the Government of Haryana, seeking her reinstatement. Dr Jasjeet Kaur confirmed the development.
To press for its demand, the state medical body today organised a meet at the Civil Hospital in Sector 6 here. It saw participation of doctors, nurses, lab technicians, pharmacists and other medical professionals.
Dr Jasbir Parmar, president of the association, said the suspension of Dr Jasjeet Kaur was unjust and it should be revoked.
“The suspension was issued without following due procedure. It is totally wrong and shouldn’t have happened. Such actions adversely affect the morale of doctors who are leading the fight against the Covid-19,” he said.
“Instead of being felicitated for the service to the humanity, doctors are being punished,” Parmar said.
He said they would also meet state Health Minister Anil Vij demanding reinstatement of Dr Jasjeet Kaur.
