Dhanbad, Feb 19: The four-member election committee of the Jharkhand State Health Services Association (JSHSA), the leading organization representing state government doctors, has received widespread appreciation for ensuring a fair and transparent election for the 2025-27 term.
Even Jharkhand’s Health Minister, Dr. Irfan Ansari, lauded the committee’s efforts in conducting the polls smoothly.
Meticulous Election Execution Across 24 Districts
The election committee, comprising Deputy Director of Health Dr. Lal Majhi, Deputy Director Dr. Pankaj Kumar, Dr. R. K. Singh, and Dr. Vikash Kumar Gupta, managed the voting process efficiently despite their demanding office schedules. Over a one-month preparation period, they successfully organized polling in Ranchi and 23 other districts of the state.
To maintain transparency, the committee members personally delivered ballot boxes to all 24 districts under their supervision—an unprecedented level of meticulousness in JSHSA elections.
Apart from Dr. Sidheswar Baskey, a candidate for the convener post from Ranchi, no other contestant lodged any complaints, further reinforcing the credibility of the election process.
