Indore (Madhya Pradesh): While the district administration has served notices to three staff nurses of Maharaja Yeshwantrao Hospital as their association surfaced with Akshar Nursing College which was found running in a cow-shed-like building, the hospital administration has also decided to take action against the trio.
Superintendent of MY Hospital Dr PS Thakur has written to the dean of MGM Medical College, Dr Sanjay Dixit, for information about the matter and to decide the future course of action.
“We’ve written to the dean of MGM Medical College about the matter. Further action against the nurses will be taken by the college administration,” Dr Thakur said.
However, Dr Dixit could not be contacted for commenting on the issue.
Meanwhile, as part of the ongoing probe into irregularities in the operations of Akshar Nursing College, ADM Pawan Jain told the media that notices had been served on the nurses for allegedly serving as faculty members of the institute. “The names of three staff nurses of a government-run hospital have surfaced as they were found associated with the institute as faculty members. We’ve served notice on them seeking their reply in the matter,” Jain said.
Many students have also complained of not receiving their scholarship, and it being transferred into the college’s bank account instead.
