Bihar Chief minister Nitish Kumar has promised to regularize the services of around 1,600 contract doctors in the state. The minister at the same time chided them for frequently resorting to unnecessary agitation.
"Doctors appointed on contract basis will soon be regularized and the government will try its best to help them out. But why do they sit on fast unto death? Rather, they should take care of their responsibilities. Their duty is to look after patients and it is the government's job to solve their problem," said minister at the 45th foundation day of Nalanda Medical College Hospital (NMCH) function held in Patna.
