DEHRADUN, Apr 01: An Associate professor with a Government medical college in Uttarkhand’s Dehradun resigned on Thursday alleging high-handed behaviour of the Health Secretary.
Dr Nidhi Uniyal, Associate professor with the Doon Medical College, in her resignation letter addressed to Pankaj Pandey, Secretary (Health) mentioned that her decision was in ‘protest against high handed behaviour of secreatry (heath)’.
Dr Uniyal said “I visited the residence with two other colleagues and examined her (secretary’s wife). My BP instrument was left in the car. When it arrived, Mr Pandey’s wife resorted to usage of unpleasant words demeaning my profession and asked to tender apology, which I refused since I was not at fault".
“This is kind of toxic. I hereby resign with a plea that an action must be initiated against the concerned secretary".
The doctor was transfered to another medical college at Almora.
