delhiUpdated: Apr 16, 2020 22:06 ISTThe North Delhi Municipal Corporation on Thursday terminated the services of a doctor at its Hindu Rao Hospital in Malka Ganj for “bringing disrepute to the institution.” Hindu Rao is a coronavirus disease (Covid-19) screening centre as designated by the Delhi government. The DNB (Diplomate of National Board) student concerned, Piyush Pushkar Singh, was serving in the hospital’s orthopaedics department. I even tried getting them back but the other doctors refused to return them, and now this has cost me my job,” Singh said. The north body commissioner, Varsha Joshi, however, said that “Singh diverted donated materials, which were to be entered into the stock of Hindu Rao Hospital, by directly entering into correspondence with the donor agency. The notice had asked him “to explain in 24 hours why he bypassed official channels to air his grievances/complaints”.
