ನಮ್ಮ ಕ್ಲಿನಿಕ್ ವೇತನ ಪಡೆದು ಪಿಜಿ ಅಧ್ಯಯನ – ವಿಚಾರಣೆಗೆ ಶಾಸಕ ಮೇಟಿ ಸೊಸೆ ಗೈರು

According to reports from Public TV, Dr. Ankita Yaragal, a medical officer at a government 'Namma Clinic' in Bagalkote, has failed to appear for an official inquiry regarding allegations of professional misconduct. The inquiry centers on claims that Dr. Yaragal has been simultaneously drawing a government salary while pursuing postgraduate medical studies, a practice that violates service regulations.

Dr. Yaragal is the daughter of the current District Health Officer (DHO), Dr. Rajkumar Yaragal, and the daughter-in-law of local MLA Umesh Meti. Given the high-profile nature of the individuals involved, the case has drawn significant attention from local authorities. The Bagalkote District Panchayat CEO, Gajanana Bale, has reportedly issued a formal warning notice to Dr. Yaragal, demanding an explanation for her absence from the scheduled inquiry and the underlying allegations of duty neglect.

The incident has sparked local discourse regarding administrative accountability within the state's public healthcare system. As of now, the district administration has not provided further details on the next steps of the disciplinary process, but the issuance of the notice indicates that the investigation into the alleged dual-role conflict remains active.
