Lack of beds hits RML PG studies
Shortage of beds is taking its toll on the MD/MS courses at Ram Manohar Lohia Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research where only 60 per cent of the total sanctioned seats have been filled.
According to the annual report of the institute, the government has permitted the institute to induct total 96 MD/MS students in 13 various departments.
However, as of now, the actual number of students pursuing MD/MS courses is only 64 against the permitted strength of 96 seats.
“We were not able to fill all the seats during the current session owing to inadequate bed strength, which should be in proportion to the PG seats. It is correct that the government has allowed us to admit 96 PG students. But due to shortage of beds, the seat strength was reduced by the university concerned during inspection before the admissions,” said director-cum-medical superintendent of the institute Dr H.K. Kar.
“We are short of 170 beds, which we are soon going to add. As the bed strength would be adequate, we would be able to fill all permitted seats in the coming session,” Dr Kar added.
The institute, which started PG courses in 2008-09, offers super-speciality courses in seven branches.

NEW DELHI, MARCH 24
The Special Investigation Team of the crime branch of Delhi police has arrested an alleged interstate gangster accused in two murder cases. The accused, identified as Rajesh, alias Raju, 41, was carrying a reward of `10 lakh by the Haryana police. According to a senior police official, Rajesh was a truck driver when he came in contact with a notorious gangster Kartar Singh Mandothi and joined his gang.
“On a specific input, the SIT officials surrounded Vipin Garden area. As per information, the accused appeared as he was going to meet his family. The team immediately nabbed him,” said ACP (crime) Ravindra Yadav.
He revealed that he had been an active member of Kartar Singh Mandothi gang since 2006 and was involved in two murder cases. He kept changing his hideouts to avoid arrest.
The Haryana police has declared a `10 lakh reward on Rajesh for allegedly murdering four persons, including the son of former sarpanch of Mandhoti village near Bahadurgarh in August 2011 when they were returning after deposing in a court in a criminal case. He was declared a proclaimed offender in two cases.
