KOLKATA: In recent news, the West Bengal Health Department suspended a doctor for allegedly accusing the state government over the prevailing dengue conditions in Kolkata. Dr Arunachal Dutta Choudhury wrote a post on social networking site Facebook, claiming that the government was trying to suppress facts relating to the dengue menace in the state. The MD claimed that 500 people were admitted to the Barasat District Hospital, where he was posted, on October 6, adding about his struggle to diagnose the patients, many of whom were lying on the floor.
The suspension order said Dutta' post amounts to “misinterpretation in the public and (are) derogatory to the hospital administration”.
