n order to resolve the complaints filed with the commission, Ithe State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR) has conducted a hearing session on Tuesday. Various directions have been given by SCPCR chairperson Usha Negi on seven of the filed complaints. The complaints which have been dealt with on the day included the one of a renowned school in Dehradun taking fees from the parents of the children "
studying under Right to Education (RTE). The chairperson has directed the district education department to act sternly if it fails to give the money back to the parents.

The chairperson has written to the district magistrate S A Murugeshan, asking him to look into the matter. Another complaint taken up by the commission related to a school in Patelnagar. It was alleged that the school having given a student of class 9 a transfer certificate (TC) of class 12 has landed the student in problem regarding admission. The chairperson has further asked the principal of the school to be present in the commission on February 15. Besides, the hearing of the case related to Pestleweed School would be held on February 15.

The president of PMHS, Dr D P Joshi said that the asso- ciation has welcomed the decision. He said that uncon- ditional and across the board implementation of DACP was one of the major demand of the DACP and the government deserves appreciation for understanding the position of doctors on the issue. Fulfilling the long- stand- ing demand of the doctors, the state government in 2016 had implemented DACP. It, how- ever, had incorporated clause of compulsory hill posting at every assured increase of grade pays while implementing DACP. DACP means assured increase in the grade pay of the doctors after 4, 9, 13 and 20 years of the service, irrespective of whether they get promotions or not. As per the clause of moun- tainous service, the doctors should serve for a period of 2, 4, 5 and 9 years in the hospi- tals located in the mountainous areas to be eligible for promo- tions at end of 4, 9, 13 and 20 years of service. %# ! $#' "% #%' )*+,-. 6
