BEGUSARAI: A show-cause notice has been issued to several employees, including doctors, who were found absent from duty during a surprise inspection of four primary health centres (PHCs) done by Begusarai civil surgeon (CS) Pramod Kumar Singh.
Talking to this reporter on Thursday, the CS said absenteeism could hamper the smooth functioning of the PHCs.“A show-cause notice has been served on the employees of the PHCs to give them a fair chance to explain why they were absent from duty,” he added.
The CS had visited the PHCs in Barauni, Bhagwanpur, Birpur and Mansurchak as well as the additional primary health centre in Banwaripur on Wednesday.
According to health department sources, most doctors and employees posted at the PHC in Barauni were found absent from duty when the CS made a surprise visit.
