Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Divisional commissioner Mal Singh Bhaydiya directed that the OPD timings of Government Dental College should be increased by one hour and from now on it would start from 8 am.
The commissioner gave these directions when he reached the Government College of Dentistry for the surprise inspection on Monday and expressed his displeasure over the absence of doctors from the OPD.
During inspection, a large number of doctors were not present. The commissioner asked the college administration to serve notice to all the missing doctors and also warned that they would face stricter action if they remained absent again.
Bhaydiya also expressed concern over the footfall of patients and their waiting time and asked the doctors to increase the OPD time by one hour and to start the OPD from 8 am instead of 9 am.
Meanwhile, principal of Dental College Dr Deshraj Jain said that some of the dentists were absent from work during the inspection of the commissioner. “We are sharing the list of doctors who were absent during the inspection. However, they have their reasons for being absent like some were sent on duty for counselling in private dental colleges while some were in the operation theatre,” Dr Jain said. He added that the commissioner would decide what action is to be taken. However, notices will also be issued against the absent doctors along with the final warning.
