Kolkata, May 5 (PTI) A doctors' platform on Tuesday wrote to West Bengal Chief Secretary Dushyant Nariala, urging immediate measures to safeguard official records and prevent any tampering of files in government
offices after the TMC's rout in the assembly polls.
In the letter, the Joint Platform of Doctors West Bengal said it had learnt through the press that instructions were issued to search every individual entering and exiting state government offices.
Stressing the need to preserve all documents and materials in their original condition, the letter alleged that over the years several institutions in the public health sector had "turned into centres of corruption and maladministration".
"It is urgently necessary to preserve every item within these offices in an unaltered condition," the letter said, calling for immediate steps to ensure that any official allegedly involved in wrongdoing does not get an opportunity to remove or tamper with records.
The platform also appealed to the chief secretary to take proactive measures in the interest of good governance.
The letter was signed by the platform's joint conveners, Dr Punyabrata Gun and Dr Hiralal Konar.
The platform has been at the forefront of protests over the rape and murder of the doctor at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. PTI SUS SOM
