Imphal, October 28 2013:
A doctor working under Health Services was posted at Manipur AIDS Control Society, as Additional Project Director, a post which is non-existent, as per specifications of National AIDS Control Organisation .
What is more the appointment was made by stepping aside the seniority list.
An independent investigation by The Sangai Express revealed that the doctor was posted against the non-existent post of Additional Project Director by an order issued by the Health Department, Secretariat in the early part of the current month.
The posting was done with the alleged consent of the Health Minister who is also vice-chairman of MACS governing body.
The particular doctor was posted as Additional Project Director after superceding three existing Deputy Directors of MACS.
One responsible officer of the Health Department informed that due consent has been obtained to withdraw the posting made against a non-existent post and it is only awaiting issuance of an official order to this effect.
However, Health Department, Secretariat refused to give the particular order which appointed the said doctor as Additional Project Director of MACS.
One high ranking official of MACS said that the particular order which appointed the doctor as Additional Project Director has been cancelled while another Health official said it has been 'withdrawn' .
"But we have not received any official document regarding cancellation of the posting order", added the official.
