District Magistrate Manish Bansal, on the basis of the instructions given by the Director General of Medicine, said that the heads of the institutions of the Medical and Education Department should ensure that no government doctor under your control is involved in private practice in any private nursing home and institution or private clinic by fully complying with the instructions of the government. If it is confirmed that any government doctor under your control is involved in private practice, then immediately take necessary action against them and ensure that the information of the action taken is made available to the committee. DM Manish Bansal directed that if the committee receives information through any other medium about any government doctor being involved in private practice, then it will be understood that the concerned controlling officer is deliberately hiding the facts and being lax.
