Doctors oppose appointment of juniors as HoDs in Tiruvannamalai medical college

CHENNAI: Government doctors opposed the decision of the Tiruvannamalai Medical College dean to appoint four professors, who are juniors to them in service, as the heads of departments (HoD).

They said it was against the rule and requested immediate cancellation of the appointment. In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Democratic Tamil Nadu Government Doctors Association (Democratic TNGDA) said the order created unwanted restlessness among senior professors.
