Dr. Vasudeva Nayak, new Supdt. of KR Hospital 

Dr. B.D. Satyanarayana, Superintendent, Krishnarajendra Hospital (K.R.
Hospital) has been transferred.

The Department of Medical Education, which has transferred Dr.
Satyanarayana to Bangalore Medical College as its Principal, has
nominated Dr. Vasudeva Nayak as the Superintendent of K.R. Hospital in
his place.

Dr. Satyanarayana, who took charge as Medical Superintendent of the
Hospital only six months ago, has one-and-half years service still
left for him. His transfer is reported to have taken place in the
backdrop of letters written by several voluntary organisations and
associations as well as the Deputy Commissioner to the Government
complaining against him.
No written communication about the transfer had been received by him,
Dr. Satyanarayana said, adding that he had been informed
telephonically. The transfer, in spite of rendering honest service,
had pained him, Dr. Satyanarayana said in reaction to the transfer
order.
