Mysuru: In a peculiar and arguably flawed arrangement, the Senior Health Officer of the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) is compelled to double up as a Veterinary Doctor due to the State Government’s decision to abolish the posts of Veterinary Doctors and Veterinary Inspectors that previously existed in City Corporations across Karnataka.
According to sources, the abolishment of these crucial posts has left the Health Officer with the added responsibility of overseeing tasks traditionally handled by qualified veterinarians. These duties include monitoring the health conditions of pet animals and ensuring the supply of meat adheres to specified quality and hygiene standards.
