MCG official rejects pet registration application, fined

HRSC fined MCG Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ashish Singla Rs 5,000 for wrongly rejecting Devendra Singh Bhati’s dog registration application, filed on April 10 via the Antyodaya Saral portal. Despite providing all necessary documents, including residential proof, Bhati’s application was rejected on April 12 and confirmed via email later in April. Bhati appealed, leading HRSC chief commissioner TC Gupta to hold Singla accountable for mismanagement. The fine was deducted from Singla’s July salary.
