Chief Minister Jai Ram
Thakur today said it was not
possible for the government
to fill all vacant posts in various departments.
He was replying to a query
about vacant posts in the
Health Department raised by
Ram Lal Thakur and JR Kat-
wal during Question Hour.
"Many posts are lying vacant
even in my constituency Seraj and it is not possible to fill
all posts,” he said. The
endeavour of the government was to fill functional
posts so that better services
could be provided to people.
He assured the House that
the posts of doctor and para-
medical staff would be filled
soon.
"It is due to special
incentives and untiring
efforts of the government
that doctors are serving even
in rural and remote areas,
providing quality care to the
people," he said.
Thakur said the govern-
ment was laying emphasis on
strengthening infrastructure
and staff in the Health
Department for which an
enhanced budgetary allocation had also been made for
the sector. Replying to a
query by Vinod Kumar,
Health and Family Welfare
Minister Rajeev Saizal said 225 doctors had been found to
be Covid positive during pandemic since last year.
