• Nusrat Parveen, the doctor whose niqab was removed by CM Nitish Kumar, has not joined duty at Sabalpur Community Health Centre (CHC).
• She was scheduled to report by Saturday 6 pm, but Patna Civil Surgeon Avinash Kumar Singh confirmed she didn't join, with her deadline extended beyond December 20.
• The incident, where CM Kumar removed her veil during an appointment letter distribution, sparked a "hijab row" and went viral.
• Governor Arif Mohammad Khan defended CM Kumar, calling the controversy a "dispute between a father and a daughter."
• Her family is reportedly disappointed with the media attention, not with Nitish Kumar or the government, and she is rethinking joining.
