Early Times Report 

Jammu, Mar 15: The Health Minister Chaudary Lal Singh is again in the news, this time for playing cricket and fracturing an arm of a lady doctor who was assigned the job to click the pictures of the shots being played by the Minister.
Sources told Early Times that the incident took place when Minister inaugurated the first Young Achievers, Cricket Tournament at Kathua Stadium on Saturday and played cricket.
Lal Singh's shot hit a female doctor Dr Deepika Sankhyadhar's arm as she was clicking pictures on the leg side. She fell on the spot after ball hit her. Doctors present there examined her and came to know that she has broken her arm and has received minor fracture.
Sources said that Dr Deepika was operated upon and doctors informed that she would be fine in a few days. Calling accidental incident unfortunate, Dr. Deepika Sankhyadhar while talking to Early Times said, "Unfortunately, the ball hit my arm, it was not Minister's fault, "she clarified.
Penitently, Health Minister Lal Singh has been hogging the headlines from since the day he was sworn in as the minister. A lady doctor Dr. Gurmeet Kour had filed a complaint against the Health Minister for allegedly insulting her for not wearing an apron during a function here.
Meanwhile, Society of Dental Surgeons, J&K (SDSJK) on Sunday condemned the "unethical" approach of the Health Minister Lal Singh against the doctors and particularly against Dr Gurmeet Kour recently. "It was stressed that no constitution or any rule gives the privilege to a minister or any higher authority to humiliate or disrespect his subordinates for unwarranted issues. I also spoke to Dr Gurmeet Kour (Registrar, Psychiatry) and expressed deep anguish regarding the indecent act by the minister, "President SDSJK Dr Imtiyaz Banday said.
He on behalf of SDSJK assured Dr Gurmeet Kour that the association supports her cause for which she has raised the voice. "Doctors are already overburdened across the state and are working under stressful conditions and risking their safety for no fault of theirs," he maintained and adding such an approach of the highest chair towards doctors will only discourage them by bringing their morale down thereby affecting the patient care at large.
