Anti-CAA stir: No leaves for docs, paramedics

December 24, 2019 02:06

The health department in Ghaziabad has cancelled leaves of all government doctors and paramedical staff for the next 15 days to deal with any untoward situation in the wake of the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

All government hospitals, primary and community health centres have been put on alert in the district, Chief Medical Officer N K Gupta said.

Private hospitals have also been cautioned to remain vigilant, he added.

The orders have been issued as there are apprehensions of troublesome incidents during protests against the CAA, Gupta said.

He said ambulance services 102 and 108 will remain active.

The CMO said leaves of the staff or the doctors will be granted only in emergency cases. -- PTI
