In the letter to AIIMS Director, the doctors said the cancellation of the counselling round came as a shock for residents of INIs who were eagerly waiting for new residents to join the departments and to replace the residents who have passed out of the departments in the last 6 months. 

The vacant seats will create more workload on the existing workforce which was already over burdened during the two-year pandemic period, said the doctors.
