VACANT POSTS: The posts of three specialist doctors including a lady gynaecologist have been lying vacant in the DHQ Hospital for the last two years.

These posts became vacant when an orthopaedic surgeon, an eye surgeon and a gynaecologist went abroad. Despite demand and protest by the general public, these posts have not been filled so far.

It was learnt some two months ago that an orthopaedic surgeon and a gynaecologist had been posted at the DHQ Hospital. But the lady doctor refused to join the duty as a proper residence was not available for her.
