The Jammu and Kashmir Health and Medical Education Department has terminated the services of Dr Saima Nanda, a Consultant Surgeon at District Hospital Budgam, after she remained absent from duty without authorization for nearly two years.
According to a Government order, Dr Nanda failed to resume work after her sanctioned leave ended on March 1, 2024, and despite multiple notices and show-cause warnings—where she cited her mother-in-law’s cancer treatment as the reason—she never returned to service and instead requested that her resignation be accepted.
Consequently, invoking Rule 21(1) of the J&K Civil Services (CCA) Rules, 1956, the Government has terminated her probation and discharged her from service with effect from March 1, 2024, the date she initially absented herself.
