Imphal, Aug 6,
Senior Resident doctors of J.N. Institute of Medical Sciences, Porompat today took mass casual leave and staged sit –in-protest in front of the Medical Superintendent Office today afternoon.
The doctors have been protesting appointment of Assistant Professors in the various departments of the Institution by skipping the resident doctors who should be given priority.
The doctors also alleged rampant corruption and nepotism during the selection process of the Assistant professor.
“ Many senior residents who were qualified and with years of teaching experience, who were appointed on regular basis and presently serving in JNIMS were sidelined and fresh recruitments were made. Out of 17 candidates appointed, not a single internal candidate was appointed. This shows that no preference has been given to the senior residents of JNIMS, Porompat whereas in other premier Medical Institutes like AIIMS, New Delhi, PGIMER, Chandigarh and RIMS, Lamphelpat, preferences are given to the already serving incumbents of the institute. This has led to discontent and lack of faith in the JNIMS Authority amongst the regular Senior Residents”, a statement release earlier had stated.
