Following an Order by the LG on Tuesday, the Delhi Health Min Said the DGHS Will Take Over as Registrar
NEW DELHI: Delhi health minister Pankaj Singh on Wednesday issued an order to dissolve the Delhi Medical Council (DMC) and reconstitute a new council within two months, a day after Lieutenant Governor (LG) VK Saxena approved a government proposal in this regard.
The minister said that the director-general of health services (DGHS), Dr Rati Makkar, will take charge as the interim registrar of the DMC. However, DMC officials said they did not get any communication in this regard.
Health minister Singh told HT, "The proposal from the LG office was approved last night. Today, we have issued a formal order to DMC. There are alleged reports of irregularities by DMC which now will be probed following which action will be taken against the members of DMC who were involved in the alleged irregularities and abuse of powers."
