Bhubaneswar, Sept 21 (PTI) With water-borne disease spreading in tribal dominated districts, the Orissa government today appointed 140 doctors on an adhoc basis, officials said."At least 20 doctors from among the 140 persons will be posted in cholera-hit Rayagada district," said health and family welfare minister Prasanna Acharya.Of the 140 doctors, 77 were earlier appointed on contract basis, he said adding that the government decided to go for adhoc posting as the Orissa Public Service Commission (OPSC) takes a lot of time for making regular appointments."The service of the adhoc doctors will be regularised in due course with proper permission from the OPSC," the minister said.The move comes in the wake of an outbreak of diarrhea and cholera in certain districts besides new diseases like dengue, swine flu and others rearing their heads in the state.As many as 56 doctors, appointed as assistant surgeons, were given appointments in KBK (Kalahandi-Balangir- Koraput) districts, sources said.
