In a funny incident, it is learnt that the doctor who was given with ‘punishment’ transfer was one who was already on the list of the transferred. The much-celebrated punishment transfer happened when the Kerala health minister conducted a lightning inspection in a hospital in Thiruvalla. Following the inspection, Minister Veena George transferred Superintendent Dr. Ajay Mohan to Chengannur District Hospital.
However, his name was included in the general transfer list of medical officers in the administrative cadre of the health department which came out on 28th of last month. He was transferred to Chengannur hospital. He was asked to continue there until Dr. Biju Nelson takes charge of the hospital.
The CPIM campaign was such that the Superintendent of Tiruvalla Hospital was demoted to Deputy Superintendent and transferred. But due to the transfer from Taluk Hospital to District Hospital, the title is that of Deputy Superintendent. In both places, the appointment is on the post of Assistant Director.
