They would come in late but the system showed that they had come in by 8 am," the Delhi health minister said.
"There were irregularities found at seven mohalla clinics -- five in southwest district, one in northeast, and one in Shahdara. In all 26 staffers, including seven doctors, have been de-empanelled," he said.
