Jammu, July 4: More skeletons are likely to tumble out of the cupboard as rumours are in the air that former Principal of Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) Jammu allegedly allotted two Canteens, within the premises of Boys' and Girls' Hostels to his close aide, without any codal formalities.

As per sources, a set procedure is laid for such provision under its Order 492 HME of 2008 dtd. 17/6/2008 to notify sites for canteens besides the basic codal formalities to allot canteen/eateries to deserving bidders through a tendering procedure which allegedly have been ignored in both the cases.
"In mere violation of finical codes as laid down by Government of Jammu and Kashmir the two cafes/ canteens are running in Boys and Girls Hostels of GMCH Jammu for the last one year," official sources told Early Times.
They further said that the permission was granted by the then GMCH Jammu Principal without seeking administrative permission. "No such mandatory codal formalities were followed before allowing any private player to establish their business within premises of GMCH Jammu, nor the concerned higher ups were informed in this regard," they added.
"As per Government Order 492 HME of 2008, all sites or built up structure need to be notified by Government which are falling under jurisdiction of the Health and Medical Education Department but former principal, reportedly thumbed down the aforesaid government order to extend favour to a doctor who is known to his close aide" informed a source within GMCH.
Rules violated
"In mere violation of financial codes as laid down by Government of Jammu and Kashmir the two cafes/ canteen are running in Boys and Girls Hostels of GMC &H Jammu for the last one year."
Pertinently, the said order further states: any such allotment can only be made through auction by inviting sealed bids from public through advertisement in leading newspapers, which was also not done by the former Principal.
Further it states that a standing committee should have been framed that should ascertain if there was need of a canteen/eatery in hostel premises or not, along with other details, but it was not done.
According to sources, the canteens were allowed on much higher bids than others canteens.
"A complaint was filed to concerned authorities by other bidders alleging financial irregularities but all in vain," the sources lamented.
"However the worst part of the whole episode is that the GMCH authorities and hostel authorities knowing the facts and procedural formalities for the case just let the things happen instead of intervening" said sources.

When contacted Principal of GMCH Jammu Dr Sunanda Raina said that the matter was not in her notice.
