Mysore/Mysuru: Following the cracking of female foeticide racket, heads have started to roll with Health and Family Welfare Minister Dinesh Gundurao ordering for the suspension of two Health Officers of the district.
Speaking to media persons during his visit to the now closed Mathaa Hospital at Udayagiri in city yesterday, where female foetuses were aborted by Dr. Chandan Ballal, the prime accused in the case arrested by the Police, the Minister said “We have started to initiate action against the Officers and staff of the Department for dereliction of duty and Taluk Health Officer (THO) Dr. Rajeshwari and the past Family Welfare Officer Dr. Ravi have been kept under suspension. The laxity on the part of both Dr. Rajeshwari and Dr. Ravi is palpable and hence the suspension witha pending inquiry.”
