Senior doctors working in the Women and Obstetrics Department of Hamidia wrote - Want to tell the truth about the former Head of the Department, Dr. Aruna Kumar. Being mentally tortured by this woman. She is a woman with a double personality. His working style is extremely dictatorial, destructive and full of vindictive tendencies. By creating fear, she has been getting seniors and juniors to execute her in negative ways. Whenever there is any crisis in the department, they misuse their position and power and make someone (faculty member) a soft target. She takes credit for the achievements of her department herself and presents it to the higher authority in favor of her. A message is sent to the rest of the subordinate faculty that if they do not become puppets as per their wish, then the career of that faculty will be spoiled.
The senior doctor has further written in the complaint - To save respect, faculty members have left their jobs during his tenure since 2005. No doctor wants to come to this department on vacant posts. Almost everyone's CR has been spoiled by them, which has been complained about many times in the past but due to their destructive nature, it has been ignored even by the authorities. Due to this tendency, even high officials have maintained silence.
