Minister Warns Medical Superintendent Over His Controversial Remark on Nurses' Room

Medical superintendent of the Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan Hospital, Yogesh Sarin, termed the nurses' room as 'G.B. Road'- a red-light district in Delhi. Following this controversial remark on a nurses' room in the hospital, Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain has warned Sarin, who was appointed the medical superintendent a few weeks ago.

Sarin made this remark after an altercation broke out between a group of nurses and the medical superintendent over a room, which Sarin wanted the nurses to vacate. A nurses' team from the hospital met Minister Jain and urged him to take strict action against the medical superintendent.

An official at Jain's office said, "The minister has spoken to the medical superintendent and has warned him not to use such language. He has been told that if he ever repeats this, it may lead to his suspension."

When asked if the minister would initiate any action against the medical superintendent, the official said, "The minister met the nurses and told them there was no point dragging the issue as he had spoken to the medical superintendent."
