Pro-reservation body seeks removal of AIIMS Director

On the demand by some Left organisations to exclude the creamy layer from the 27 per cent reservation, he said DASE has requested the organisations to avoid such a demand as it could strengthen that by the anti-reservation groups and delay implementation of reservations.

The association, he said, also welcomed Tamil Nadu Health Minister K K S S R Ramachandran's announcement that over 1500 doctos selected through the state Public Service Commission would be appointed for filling up vacancies in government hospitals and that 1700 doctors appointed on contract basis would be regularised.

Requesting the state government to avoid disturbing the contract doctors while appointing those selected through the TNPSC, Ravindranath said DASE wanted the government to regularise contract doctors from the date of appointment as temporary doctors for the purpose of seniority.
