The National Shoora Council has requested an immediate probe into an alleged incident at Kalmunai North Base Hospital where newly appointed female public officers were allegedly prevented from starting their duties. This occurred on August 10, according to the NSC letter to Prime Minister Dr Harini Amarasuriya, dated August 15. The NSC has urged the Health Ministry to investigate the matter and directed the Prime Minister to take action.
The letter states that the officers, attired in compliance with dress codes, were reportedly barred from entering the hospital by hospital staff. This action, the NSC asserts, violates government circulars and constitutional rights, potentially constituting a criminal offense under the Penal Code. The council seeks immediate directives for the hospital administration to allow the officers to perform their duties, an inquiry by the Ministry of Health, and a re-clarificatory directive to public institutions to ensure adherence to existing rules.
