Chamba, September 1

The District Congress Committee (DCC) has sought a probe into the alleged irregularities in the purchase of machinery and other things in the local Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Government Medical College and Hospital (PJNGMC&H).

Addressing media persons here today, DCC president Neeraj Nayar accompanied by block Congress president Kartar Singh Thakur said that he would bring these irregularities to the notice of HP Congress Legislature Party leader Mukesh Agnihotri and senior Congress leader Asha Kumari so that the matter could be raised in the forthcoming Vidhan Sabha session.

Despite the claims of the BJP of running a clean government, irregularities in Chamba medical college and the health scam with regard to the Covid-19 accessories were unearthed and the BJP government remained silent. No action was taken, Nayar stated. Nayar demanded that an inquiry into the medical college irregularities be ordered at the earliest and those found involved should be punished failing which the Congress would resort to an agitation.

He said the Congress deserved credit for opening medical college at Chamba but the construction work on the new building complex of the college could not be taken up so far, he regretted.
