About a year ago, she was transferred, however, she managed to continue in her posting till now. Swasthya Bhawan has issued a fresh transfer order yesterday.

Dr Tapas Ghosh has resigned from the post of dean of Burdwan Medical College. His resignation has been forwarded to the National Medical Commission.

In another separate order, few medical students, interns, junior doctors, junior and senior residents have been directed not to enter the college and hostel campus. The list includes nine students, five interns, two junior and two senior interns. There have been allegations of threat to the junior doctors against them. However, they have been directed to answer the show-cause notice.

The junior doctors have withdrawn the siege of the principal of Burdwan Medical College Dr Moushumi Banerjee after their demands were met, last evening. There have been allegations brought against these two doctors by the junior doctors of Burdwan Medical College and they had started agitation against the principal.

The state health department suspended Dr Avik Dey, the first year postgraduate trainee (PGT) of SSKM Hospital in Kolkata. He and Dr Birupaksha Biswas, were reportedly close to Dr Sandeep Ghosh, the arrested principal of R G Kar Medical College.

Both of them were suspended three days after the arrest of Sandip Ghosh by the CBI in the alleged corruption case.
