Authorities in Jammu and Kashmir's Shopian district on Wednesday found more than 90 per cent of the employees, including doctors, at a hospital absent from their duties and sought an explanation from them, officials said. The employees were found absent during a surprise inspection of the Shopian District Hospital at 10:10 am, conducted by the additional deputy commissioner on the directions of the deputy commissioner, they added. During the inspection, most of the doctors, medical officers, paramedical staff and ministerial staff were found unauthorisedly absent from their duties according to the biometric attendance report provided by the hospital's medical superintendent, the officials said.
