Talking to media, a senior Doctor said, “We are shocked after acknowledging about the suspension order of Dr Uttam Kumar Bhattacharjee. He is an eye-surgeon basically, but due to COVID-19 crisis situations, he is posted in Bhagat Singh COVID-19 Care Centre, although a Medicine Doctor is needed in that Centre.  But still, he is doing his duties due to Doctors’ shortage but he is now suspended illegally. In the COVID-19 Centre, the responsibility goes to the Civil Officers mainly including food and sanitizing. Doctors duty is only about treatment”.

“But amid Coronavirus pandemic, if Doctors are continued to treat in such manners, then in the coming days, nobody will be doing duties properly”, said the Doctor.
