Dr. Sethi was transferred from Ferozepur to Civil Hospital at Abohar in March 1990 when people here lost faith in administrative, police and health services as armed terrorists killed 33 innocent citizens. The challenge before the new team of officers was to restore faith and provide relief to the people. Not only Dr. Sethi set examples in his profession as a surgeon in the civil hospital but also actively participated in social service.
His work touched new heights when he successfully performed a tough surgery to remove hair and woollen threads that a girl in a school had been swallowing. He has made valuable contributions in organising about two dozen annual free general and laparoscopic camps that were sponsored by Shree Satya Sai Sewa Samiti at Abohar.
