The Community Health Centre located in Mandrella town of Rajasthan's Jhunjhunu district has been plunged into turmoil following an ugly internal confrontation among its medical personnel. Rather than patient care, the government healthcare facility has become the focus of intense scrutiny after footage capturing a confrontation between senior doctors began circulating widely across digital platforms. The development has cast a shadow over institutional discipline within the regional healthcare infrastructure and prompted sharp questions regarding the code of conduct observed by senior government doctors on active duty.
Official Notice Issued Following Altercation in Administrative Room
Taking a stringent view of the disruption, Dr. Pradeep Sharma, the medical officer in charge at the Mandrella Community Health Centre, has initiated formal administrative proceedings. Dr. Sharma issued an official office memorandum addressed to Dr. Ashok Kumar Nooniya, a senior medical officer stationed at the same hospital. The written communication explicitly calls upon Dr. Nooniya to submit a comprehensive written explanation regarding his alleged unruly conduct, insubordination, and creation of workplace chaos while on official duty hours. This measure represents a formal institutional attempt to curb rising indiscipline on hospital grounds.
Allegations of Inebriation and Disruptive Behaviour on Duty
The formal memorandum signed by Dr. Sharma details a series of disturbing occurrences within the hospital premises. According to the document, Dr. Ashok Kumar Nooniya entered the officer-in-charge room abruptly and without any scheduled reason or prior warning. Once inside, he allegedly initiated an unprovoked verbal confrontation with Dr. Sharma, using objectionable language and behaving aggressively. The most serious charge outlined in the official communication states that Dr. Nooniya displayed physical movements, speech patterns, and mannerisms that strongly indicated heavy alcohol intoxication while on duty. The prospect of a senior physician being intoxicated in a critical healthcare setting has caused significant alarm.
Video Recording Secured as Definitive Evidence
To ensure that the formal complaint rests on tangible documentation rather than conflicting oral testimonies, Dr. Pradeep Sharma confirmed that the confrontation was digitally recorded. When the alleged altercation unfolded inside the administrative chamber, a complete video recording of the encounter was captured and preserved. Dr. Sharma stated that this digital footage has been securely archived. He affirmed that the clip will be produced as indisputable evidence whenever departmental investigators or senior administrative authorities summon documentation during the inquiry.
Two-Day Deadline and Warning of Strict Administrative Action
In his formal communication, Dr. Sharma stressed that such hostile conduct blatantly violates government service codes, hospital decorum, and institutional ethics. Dr. Nooniya has been instructed to furnish his written response within two days, or 48 hours, of receiving the memorandum. The notice carries a stern warning emphasizing that failure to meet the specified timeline, or the submission of an unsatisfactory defence, will result in immediate escalation. In that event, a formal dossier seeking severe disciplinary proceedings under applicable civil services conduct rules will be forwarded to higher echelons of the health department.
History of Previous Verbal Warnings and Demand for Strict Measures
Providing additional background to the persistent conflict, Dr. Sharma disclosed that the latest incident is not an isolated breach of professional discipline. Dr. Nooniya had reportedly received multiple verbal cautions in the past concerning his on-duty conduct, professional attitude, and interactions within the hospital. However, those informal warnings produced no lasting corrective change, leading instead to repeated instances of workplace friction. Consequently, Dr. Sharma has formally appealed to higher authorities within the health department to intervene decisively, take official cognizance of the entire matter, and impose appropriate penalties to protect the integrity of public healthcare institutions.
