Nirmal Maji, a former Trinamool Congress legislator, has been ousted from the West Bengal Medical Council, according to a senior official on Monday. This decision aligns with measures by the BJP administration to revamp the state's public healthcare infrastructure.
The announcement came following a high-profile meeting at SSKM Hospital chaired by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, with key figures from the health department in attendance. Discussions focused on reforming the sector and eliminating irregularities within the department.
With his tenure officially terminated on May 11, Dr. Maji's removal is considered a significant step in this overhaul. Known for past controversies, including a controversial dialysis recommendation, Maji lost credibility after recent assembly elections.
