The health department insists that the transfer follows standard procedures, including the rule that employees must be moved after three years. However, Dr. Vaidya’s case points to possible inconsistencies. An able-bodied doctor was recently transferred to her former workplace, just 500 meters from Yerwada Jail, while Dr. Vaidya faces a lengthy commute despite her disability.

She has written to the authorities, citing government regulations for specially abled employees, but her concerns have so far been met with little response. Staff within the health department have shown support for her, and social media messages are urging Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to intervene and help.

Dr. Vaidya’s case highlights concerns about how the health department manages transfers and the need for more sensitivity towards employees with disabilities. Her fight for fair treatment continues as she seeks justice and support.
