Health officials protest against geo fencing attendance system over privacy and security concerns
HISAR: United in opposition to the govt's decision to implement a location-based geo-fencing attendance system, health officials and employees of the Health Department submitted a memorandum to Civil Surgeon Dr Sapna Gehlawat on Monday. The memorandum was addressed to the Additional Chief Secretary and Director General, Health Services, registering strong protest against the move. The protest was spearheaded by the Health Department Coordination Committee, with participation from multiple associations representing doctors, dentists, pharmacists, nursing officers, and technical staff. In a joint statement, Committee Convenor MPHW Noor Mohammad, Dr Anamika Bishnoi (President, Haryana Civil Medical Services Association), Dr Ravi Chauhan (President, Dental Surgeons' Association), Vikas Sandlana (District President, Multipurpose Health Workers Association), Vinod Dalal (District President, Government Pharmacy Officers Association), Atma Ram (District Secretary, Nursing Officers), Mayawati (Radiology), and Rakesh Kumar (President, Laboratory Technical Officers) opposed the system, citing privacy violations and security risks. 'The geo-fencing system is a direct infringement on the right to privacy guaranteed under the Indian Constitution,' they said, adding that it could violate Supreme Court guidelines. They also warned that the system poses serious cybersecurity threats, especially if implemented through employees' personal mobile phones, which are vulnerable to data breaches and hacking. The committee emphasised that the existing biometric attendance system is already in place and functioning efficiently. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Discover Effortless Glucose Monitoring: Request a Free Trial Dexcom Click Here Undo 'Health workers consistently demonstrated dedication, especially during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic.

They demanded the immediate withdrawal of the geo-fencing attendance mandate, warning that failure to do so would lead to statewide mobilisation and decisive action by health department personnel.

A homecoming for 3 PDP turncoats in J&K
Three leaders who had deserted the PDP — ex-MLAs Aijaz Ahmad Mir and Noor Mohammad as well as Raja Waheed — returned to the party like the prodigal son on Saturday. And they were duly welcomed back by none other than party president and former CM Mehbooba Mufti. While Noor had quit the PDP after the abrogation of Article 370 and crossed over to Altaf Bukhari's J&K Apni Party, Aijaz had left before the Assembly polls last year, as he was denied a mandate from the Shopian Assembly seat. Many PDP turncoats had also returned to the party fold before the Assembly elections. Most of them, however, failed to win over voters. Shut down unauthorised websites: Govt to depts In view of growing cyber attacks, the J&K government has asked its departments to shut down all their privately hosted and unauthorised departmental websites. An order issued in this regard by the Commissioner Secretary to Government highlighted the risks associated with unauthorised digital platforms, outdated hardware or software infrastructure and a rise in incidents of phishing. The directive stated that no future departmental websites be developed or hosted on non-government domains. It further stressed that, no official communication shall be made or responded to if transmitted from non-government email accounts.
