Ranchi: Doctors in Jharkhand threatened mass resignation on Monday if the state government did not withdraw the new leave system.

“On Sunday, we met the principal secretary of the chief minister and apprised him about our concern. If the state government does not withdraw the decision, we will go on mass leave on November 2 and tender mass resignation on November 15,” Bimlesh Singh, president of Jharkhand State Health Service Association (JHSA), told reporters on Monday.

November 15 is the day the state of Jharkhand came into being.

As per the new system, the doctors and teachers posted in rural areas will have to seek leave from ‘mukhiyas’ (village heads).

The mukhiyas have also been empowered to check their attendance.

The new system has not gone down well with the doctors. More than 600 doctors under the JHSA took out a protest march on Sunday.

The agitating doctors were on their way to blockade the chief minister’s residence but were stopped near the governor’s house. The doctors then staged a sit-in near the governor’s house.

Complaints were lodged against more than 200 doctors for engaging in a scuffle with police.

The doctors are receiving support from the Indian Medical Association (IMA).

“Why only doctors and teachers, civil servants and police officials should also be brought under the panchayat raj system,” Bhati Kashyap, IMA women’s wing president, told.

A teachers’ association has also announced it will join the protest against the new leave system.

The teachers will launch a signature drive against the new system and hand over a memorandum to Chief Minister Raghubar Das. On November 15, they will protest before the chief minister.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
