"One of the team members started unwarranted arguments with the staff and even used unparliamentary language", a source informed. "The member got agitated when some representatives from SMGS hospital reached for the meeting late and started misbehaving with them. Few of faculty members asked the member to behave' and interact with faculty members with respect which triggered heated arguments with faculty members and the member of the MCI team which carried on for a long time.

"It seems the high violate drama took place with the involvement of administration-----which firstly failed to inform all faculty members timely and Principal failed to contain the agitated member of the inspecting team, "doctors further alleged.
