‘No Diwali Gifts’ Please, says notice outside Director Health’s office

Nabaz-e-Punjab, Chandigarh, November 3:
Punjab Health Department director Dr. Manjit Singh has put up a notice outside his office saying, “Happy Diwali, No Diwali Gifts, Please, Share Happiness, No Gifts.” Nearly ten days before the festival, he got a small banner put outside his office in Directorate Health Services (DHS) in Sector 34 in Chandigarh today. Before being promoted to this position last month, Dr Manjit Singh was working as the Civil Surgeon of Mohali. He believes that such gifts should not be accepted by government officials as it sends the wrong message to the society and directly or indirectly leads to corruption.
A recovered patient of blood cancer, Dr Manjit Singh is known as an honest and hardworking officer. It may be recalled that the Chief Minister Capt. Amarinder Singh in the last state level Independence day function on August 15 in Mohali, lauded Dr Manjit Singh for his unparalleled and dedicated service in the war against Covid-19. The Chief Minister had said that despite having suffered from a life-threatening disease, he was playing a leading role in the ‘Mission Fateh’ waged against this pandemic and his hard work was a source of inspiration for others as well. He also has literary interests and continues to write poems on various subjects.
