| GDC Srinagar rehab centre for VIP dentists | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Feb 25: Government Dental College and hospital (GDC) Srinagar has become a rehabilitation centre for Dentists (dental surgeons) working with Health and Medical Education department as many VIP dental surgeons are attached with GDC from last many years. The GDC Srinagar continues to be in news due to the wrong policies and illegal actions of its tainted Principal Dr Riyaz Farooq whose case has been recommended by Vigilance Organisation for prosecution sanction and the same is awaited from GAD. As reported by Early Times few months back as many as ten Dental Surgeons who actually are the employees of Directorate of Health Kashmir are attached with Government Dental College and hospital (GDC)Srinagar from last many years. Some of these doctors are unauthorizedly attached with GDC Srinagar from last many decades.
There are some solid and astonishing facts which are self-speaking. Principal Govt Dental College Srinagar Dr Riyaz Farooq has retained a dozen of his favorite Dental Surgeons of health department which were deputed to Govt Dental College Srinagar many years back, beyond their limit of positing, which is in utter contravention to various notifications of administrative department of Health and Medical Education. There are clear circulars and orders from Commissioner Secretary Health & ME which state that all doctors of health department should be relieved and report back to director health department (Kashmir / Jammu) so that they deliver their duty in the health department which is their parent department , as the patients are suffering in district and sub district hospitals due to dearth of Dental Surgeons . But unfortunately and as much surprisingly, principal GDC is putting to wind all such directives.
Some blue-eyed dental surgeons such as Dr. Kaiser Jah (BDS dental surgeon is posted in GDC since 1984), Dr. Latief Matoo since 2008, Dr. Mansoor Khatana, Dr Javiad wani , Dr Parviza Rashid since 2005, Dr Shaista Naaz since 2010, Dr Syed Ishtiyaq Geelani since 2014, Dr Fozia Mir since 2012, Dr Ashiq Hussain and Dr Ahtesham Qureshi since 2012 . All these dental surgeons are from health department and not of medical education department and are being retained in GDC since a decade and thus blocking all the posts of post graduate doctors who are suppose to work as senior registrars in thedental college so that they render better services as specialists. It is pertinent to mention that Government Dental College Srinagar comes under the administrative control of Medical Education Department and the Dental Surgeons belong to Directorate of Health Kashmir.
"If these Dental Surgeons have been appointed to serve rural areas why are they illegally attached with GDC Srinagar while as people in rural areas are left to the mercy of quacks and dental technicians," said Dr Fayaz Ahmad a Dental Surgeon working in directorate of health.
Pertinently, Principal Government Dental College & Hospital Srinagar Dr Riyaz Farooq in past has remained in news as he was indicted by the State Vigilance Organisation (SVO) for causing loss amounting to almost 50 lakh rupees to the state exchequer by purchasing several dental equipments on much exorbitant rates from some suppliers after getting illegal gratification . Government is yet to initiate action against the tainted principal in-spite of the fact that an FIR stands registered against the Principal Dr Reyaz Farooq. Vigilance according to reliable sources has forwarded Dr Reyaz's name to General Administration Department (GAD) to seek prosecution sanction under J&K Prevention of Corruption Act. Many dental surgeons have urged upon the Governor to direct the General Administration Department (GAD) to give sanction for prosecution against Dr Reyaz Farooq and appoint some credible person as new principal of this prestigious institution. |
