However, the J&K is already witnessing dearth of the doctors, but it is seemingly getting overshadowed as the concerned authorities don’t bother to look into the matter rather enjoy the service as per their will. There are many people who have so far raised the queries over the practice. Such happening has to come to an immediate end as the people are already facing hardships due to the lack of adequate number of doctors and paramedical staff in the hospitals all across the Union Territory.
