Medical edu principal secy asked to appear before court

Bengaluru:28.10.2021

The high court has directed the principal secretary of the medical education department to appear before it regarding the delay in operationalising the Institute of Gastroenterology and Organ Transplant on Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute premises.

The division bench called the delay “deliberate” and gave the direction while hearing a contempt petition by MN Umesh, a Bengaluru advocate. During the hearing, the court was told that although the institute was made functional on July 5, 2021, it cannot be made operational unless a sanitisation exercise is done that requires at least two months.

“We fail to appreciate as to why the institute was not sanitised till date and why they are waiting for the court to allow them time to sanitise the institute. The conduct of the authorities concerned is highly deprecated,” the bench said. TNN
