No proposal to order mandatory dope test for all govt employees in Hry: Vij

Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij today said that there was no proposal under consideration to order mandatory dope test of all government employees as has been done by neighbouring Punjab.

"No such proposal is under consideration in Haryana," Vij told reporters this evening when asked about Punjab's move.

Yesterday, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh had ordered mandatory dope test of all government employees, including police personnel, from the time of their recruitment through every stage of their service.

When asked if there was any proposal to enact a tough law against drug peddlers, Vij said, "If we have to frame a tough law, we will frame that, we will not allow Haryana to fall into this (drug menace) trap."
To another question pertaining to some doctors posted in the Kalpana Chawla Medical college in Karnal, he said, "We have got some reports that some doctors there refer patients to private hospitals and even operate them there."
