Diwali vacation cancelled for medical teachers

Ahmedabad:12.11.2020

The state government on Wednesday cancelled the Diwali vacation for Class I and II employees of all medical colleges in the state due to the Covid-19 situation.

BJ Medical College had already cancelled the vacation. The Medical Teachers Association requested the state health department to grant Diwali vacations to doctor-teachers because they have been working tirelessly for more than seven months and need a break now. A meeting was convened on Wednesday involving the deans of all medical institutes across the state and they discussed how Covid-19 and non-Covid services would continue unhampered during Diwali times. The decision to cancel the vacation was conveyed to the heads of all institutes and they have been asked to remain prepared for round-the-clock health services. TNN
