Their going to picnic puts a question mark on the credibility of doctors also as the patients in huge number have been waiting for the appointment,” the employee said.According to the source, doctors had gone to picnic without the proper permission of the concerned authorities. “Allowing around a half dozen employees to go for picnic despite knowing the rush of patients in the hospital is more than irony” they said.Meanwhile, CMO Kulgam, Dr. Mohammad Rafiq Dobhi said that he is unaware of the thing and will confirm the same from concerned BMO.On being contacted by CNS, BMO, Nighat Nasreen while refuted the absence of the staff.
