The statement said that in the meantime Ministry of Health & Family Welfare intimated repeatedly to consider appointment of Smt. L. Kullabati Devi on deputation for a period of 2 years against one of the two vacant posts. This in view of the fact that her husband is posted in Manipur.

Guidelines have been issued by the Government of India from time to time for posting of husband and wife who are in government service, at the same station.
