Citing the case of his constituency, Pujari said while 50 per cent of doctor posts are lying vacant in Bargarh district alone, three doctors were transferred on COVID-19 duty.
The MP requested the chief minister to roll back the transfer orders of the doctors considering the sentiment of the people of western Odisha.
