Rajasthan’s Barmer District Magistrate Tina Dabi has resolved an impasse that continued for the past 10 days. She has turned peacemaker between SDM Sedwa and Dr Ram Swaroop Rawat.
She held a 90-minute meeting at her office with Dr. Rawat and members of the doctors’ association. The doctor agreed to accept SDM Sedwa’s apology and Badri Narayan Vishnoi’s. The doctors have returned to their duties.
The Barmer district president of the All Rajasthan Medical Service Association said that they retracted their protest and boycott of OPD services after the district magistrate accepted their demands.
The doctors have staged protests and decided to boycott duties after SDM Sedwa allegedly threatened Dr Rawat, who was on OPD duty. Despite this, the SDM issued a video apology over the incident, but the doctors were adamant about his suspension and demanded an FIR against the officer.
Dabi called a meeting at her office at 4 pm, where all the members of the doctor association were present. They accepted the apology, and the district magistrate agreed to respectful future inspections.
Tina Dabi, the topper of the 2015 UPSC CSE, has made headlines for her innovation in sanitation in the district. Dabi’s younger sister, Ria Dabi, is also an IAS officer.
