Jammu, Aug 5: Uncertainty continues to hover over MBBS seats in the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMC&H) Jammu ahead of the visit of Medical Council of India (MCI), which had pointed out some serious discrepancies in the college during its last visit.
A crucial high level meeting was called ahead of the all-important meet of the MCI, but it was hijacked by a junior doctor who raised his self governed agenda under the nose of Principal of the College.
The seriousness of the administration to save the existing MBBS seats can be gauged from that fact the administration and few faculty members discussed non relevant issues in the crucial meet ahead of the all-important visit of the MCI.
Pertinently, GMC Jammu was given final warning by the team of the MCI, which had asked it to complete the deficiencies or face the axe on medical seats. Keeping in view warning, the meeting was called to discuss the deficiencies in faculty and infrastructure which were pointed out by the MCI during its inspection.
It is pertinent to mention here that most of the works that were to be completed according to the directions of the MCI by PWD (R&B) and JKPCC, Civil, Mechanical and Electric wings were still incomplete and could result in a drastic decision of cutting down MBBS seats by the MCI.
Sources further added that the executing agencies gave silly excuses to the Minister when latter inquired into the progress on various projects and demanded more than 6 to 8 months time to complete the works. Later, as Minister left the meeting, a junior doctor, who was not even invited raised issues of Medical Officers, administrative posts and hike in salaries of the doctors which led to heated argument in the presence of Commissioner Secretary Health and Medical Education.
