SRINAGAR, Feb 3: Following the arrest of a self-styled doctor, officials in district Anantnag today requested information on all physicians working at private hospitals and clinics in the area in order to keep an eye on and identify medical professionals with questionable qualifications. In this context, the names of practicing physicians, their degrees, J&K Medical Council registration numbers, and mobile numbers have all been requested from the district's private healthcare managers.In a related circular, all private clinics and hospitals in District Anantnag were asked to provide information about their practicing physicians within three days, emphasising the importance of systemic transparency. The Chief Medical Officer (CMO), Anantnag, took the necessary measures after discovering a doctor working at a clinic in Mehman Gali, Anantnag district, who was purportedly using phoney degrees. Through the efforts of a social activist in the district, the so-called doctor, named as Gulzar Ahmad, who was accused of posing as a gastroenterology falsely, was brought to light.After over ten days of fieldwork, social activist Dr. Abdul Bari Naik and his team discovered that the practitioner was not only in Anantnag but also in several other areas like as Srinagar, Budgam, and Ganderbal. "We discovered that the individual was seeing patients at Dar Medicos, Ganderbal; National Drug Store, Hawal; and Mankind Pharmacy, Nowshera, in addition to Medwin Pharmacy in Anantnag," Dr. Bari stated. Additionally, claims were made that the doctor's degrees were falsified and did not actually belong to him.The prescription reveals that he has an MBBS degree with an MD in general medicine as well as a certified superspecialist in gastroenterology. "Even the degree he has been showing from PGI Chandigarh is tampered with; it indicates that he has also studied in London, which does not seem to be the case," Dr. Bari said. Nevertheless, the so-called doctor made the decision to run away and ask for forgiveness when the activist and the "Excelsior" team tried to speak with him about the situation. "He gave me someone else's registration number when I visited the clinic as a patient. "I verified; every degree was fraudulent," Dr. Bari remarked.District health authorities became aware of the situation and quickly closed the facility and started an inquiry. Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Anantnag, Dr. M.Y. Zagoo, stated to: "We have taken action; the pharmacy was sealed quickly, and we are currently looking into the allegations; we will make sure his credentials are verified, and appropriate action will be taken; in addition, we have directed private hospitals and clinics to submit information about practicing physicians."It should be mentioned that a case involving a fraudulent doctor who was observed wandering the Lal Ded Hospital claiming to be a cardiologist had surfaced earlier this year. Following a public outcry, the authorities established an inquiry committee tasked with investigating the situation and submitting any necessary recommendations. Nevertheless, neither the committee's findings nor the authorities' knowledge of the corrective actions implemented to avoid future incidents have been made public as of yet.

JAMMU: Haji Mohammed Hussain, a former legislative council member and leader of the Senior National Conference, joined the BJP here on Saturday.

Koul expressed pleasure that Hussain and his followers had joined him, saying that non-BJP governments had taken advantage of the Gujjar minority for vote-bank politics and had done little to improve their welfare. He declared, "The senior leaders of other parties are turning more and more towards the BJP with every day, and they are making a commitment to see that Narendra Modi becomes prime minister for a record three terms."Hussain's entry, according to Rana, will improve the party's reputation among Gujjars. "Gujjars have grown to trust Prime Minister Modi's leadership because they are persuaded by the government's policies and initiatives. The Modi government has been working quickly to improve their community in the true sense, and the Gujjars are well aware of this," he stated.

District Magistrate Jammu orders nullification of land mutation

editor February 4, 2024Leave a comment

JAMMU: District Magistrate Sachin Kumar Vaishya has issued an order nullifying a land modification with number 42, dated October 3, 2005, on the grounds that it is unsustainable legally. The applicants Sukhdev Singh, Romesh Singh, and Subash Singh submitted a representation claiming possession of a 48 Kanal 07 Marla plot of land in the village of Paragpura, Tehsil Akhnoor, which led to the order. The petitioners claimed there were inconsistencies in the land records, claiming that even though they had owned the land since March 7, 2002, the documents continued to list the State as the owner and possessor. According to a thorough report by Tehsildar Pargwal that included pertinent revenue documents, the petitioners did, in fact, buy the designated land in 2002.Contrary to the Land Revenue Act, inconsistencies were found in the issuing of the Fard, dated February 11, 2002, which was based on the 1966–67 Jamabandi rather than the most recent one available in 1995–96. After more research, it was discovered that 34 Kanal 06 Marlas of the bought land had been escheated to the State by Mutation No. 24 in accordance with the Agrarian Reform Act of 1976. The District Magistrate called attention to two major infractions: "The illegal issuance of the Fard by revenue officials, violating provisions of the Land Revenue Act" and "The escheatment of the purchased land to the State." Consequently, the District Magistrate issued an order to revoke Mutation No. 42, which was issued on October 3, 2005, with regard to the part that was escheated to the State. Tehsildar Pargwal was instructed to swiftly enter the order into revenue records and provide a report on the actions performed within a two-day period. In addition, the delinquent officials accountable for the unauthorised Fard issuance must be identified in order to take the necessary follow-up measures.
