The chair dispute continues; the argument among DMOs over 'this is my chair' escalates
The dispute between two DMOs over the chair continues without any resolution even today. Even today, two people were seated as DMOs in the office cabin at the same time. Dr. Asha Devi, who was transferred to the position, and the current DMO, Dr. Rajendran, both arrived at the office on time and occupied the cabin.
The chair dispute began on the 9th of this month . Dr. Rajendran was transferred from the position of DMO in Kozhikode to the Directorate of Health Services as Additional Director at the beginning of this month. In place of Dr. Rajendran, Dr. Asha Devi, who was the DMO of Ernakulam, was transferred to the position of DMO in Kozhikode. However, Rajendran claimed that he was the DMO according to the law, and Asha Devi took the stance that the Administrative Tribunal's verdict was in her favor. Raising technicalities in legal proceedings, Asha Devi, who was transferred, has not yet received the chair from Dr. Rajendran, who is still unwilling to vacate it.
