A recent administrative directive has brought clarity and finality to the allocation of 42 Public Health Medical Service (PMHS) doctors, including 23 who had sought judicial intervention, to the state of Uttarakhand. This decision, driven by explicit directions from the Hon’ble Uttarakhand High Court, resolves a complex personnel matter stemming from the bifurcation of states. An Advisory Committee thoroughly reviewed the cases, confirming that many of these medical professionals, particularly those recruited for the hill regions, were already designated for the Hills Sub-Cadre. This existing framework, combined with a general order from 2001 mandating the allocation of all Hill cadre employees to Uttarakhand, paved the way for the current resolution. As a result, 28 medical officers have been officially assigned to Uttarakhand, ensuring continuity and stability in the state’s vital health services. Further allocation orders are expected to follow, completing this crucial administrative process.
