Patiala, July 7

The Senior Medical Officer (SMO) of the Health Department, Samana, was transferred to Fazilka today. The development comes days after the staff members of the Samana Civil Hospital complained against him. The SMO, Dr Karamjit Singh, has been replaced by Dr Arvind Verma. Notably, the staff had demanded that the SMO be immediately transferred from the Samana Civil Hospital.

Notably, the staff in a written complaint had alleged that Dr Karamjit Singh used to be in an inebriated condition during duty hours.

Hussan Lal, principal secretary, Health and Family Welfare, said action was taken after the department received a complaint against the SMO. “This type of behaviour is not expected from anyone, especially from the SMO, who has been in service for around 25 years. We did take the complaint seriously and did what was appropriate in the case,” he added.—TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
