Shimla, April 21: The Himachal Pradesh government has filled 262 posts of MBBS doctors through walk-in interviews and 200 more posts would be filled to meet their shortage in rural and far-flung areas, Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur said on Saturday.
At the inauguration of the Interventional Radiology Outreach Programme organized by the Indira Medical College and Hospital (IGMCH) here, he said the state was committed to fill up all posts of doctors and para-medical staff on priority so that people could not suffer.
Thakur said the remaining posts of the doctor would be filled through the State Public Service Commission.
He said the IGMCH was the premier medical institution of the state and the government was committed to further strengthen it with advanced facilities and latest equipments.

Aaj Tak, NDTV, India TV among channels that aired 4-year-old video as Jaisalmer airstrike
New Delhi: Amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, several prominent Indian TV news channels, including Aaj Tak, NDTV, and India TV, aired a video on May 9 claiming it showed the Indian Army intercepting a Pakistani airstrike in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. However, a fact-check by Alt News revealed that the footage is at least four years old and completely unrelated to any recent conflict.
The video was broadcast during a segment on Aaj Tak hosted by anchor Anjana Om Kashyap, where it was described as footage of the Indian military thwarting a Pakistani airstrike “moments ago.” The same footage was aired in another bulletin presented by Sweta Singh on the same channel.
NDTV similarly presented the video as depicting live action from Jaisalmer. India TV and several other outlets — including Times Now, Times Now Navbharat, ABP News, News18, News Nation, and OneIndia also aired the same video with identical claims.
What’s the truth?
According to Alt News, the video was originally uploaded on May 11, 2021, by a YouTube channel named NSFchannel. The title of that video suggests it depicts Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system in action, not an Indian military engagement.
Although Alt News stated it has not independently verified the video’s exact origin, it confirmed that it is at least four years old and unrelated to the current India-Pakistan situation.
In conclusion, multiple national news broadcasters misrepresented an old video, presenting it as real-time footage of Indian forces intercepting a Pakistani airstrike in Jaisalmer, a claim now debunked through fact-checking.
