Srinagar, July 10 (JKNS): The Directorate of Health Services Kashmir (DHSK) has issued a strict circular warning against unauthorized deviation of health department employees from their officially assigned duties, calling the practice unacceptable and reflective of poor administrative oversight.
As per the circular, a copy of which lies with news agency JKNS, the DHSK has observed that in several health institutions, employees are being allowed to stray from their designated roles and responsibilities. “This practice is unacceptable and reflects poor administrative oversight at the institutional level,” the circular states.
