The Jammu and Kashmir government on Saturday suspended three doctors and removed the Director of the Sher-e-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) in Srinagar for violating norms. The government action followed a sting operation by 'Republic TV' that showed these doctors doing private practice which is not allowed for the doctors of the institute. The government pays doctors non-practicing allowances.

The order said "G.A. Ahangar, the Director of SKIMS, has been attached with the General Administration Department till further orders.
