Imphal, December 19 2015 :
The All Manipur Students' Guardians Organisation (AMSGO) has threatened that they will oppose service extension of JNIMS Director Dr L Deben if he fails to clarify on the alleged irregularities in the appointment of Assistant Professors in the medical institute.
Addressing a press conference at their office, AMSGO organisation secretary S Sumati said that JNIMS authority issued an advertisement for the recruitment of 27 Assistant Professors in 13 different departments of the medical institute on August 11, 2014 .
After the completion of necessary formalities, JNIMS Director announced appointment Dr Renuka Karam, Dr Huidrom Rajshree, Dr Roshni and Dr Thonthon Damei as Assistant Professors in Anatomy Department through an order issued on August 31, 2015, she said.
However, it is questionable how Dr Roshni, who is the wife of former Ukhrul DC and incumbent Managing Director of Manipur State Power Distribution Company Ltd, could be appointed in the OBC (Meitei) category, Sumati said.
Moreover, Roshni is not a native of Manipur but a resident of Chennai, she alleged.
After this mess came to the notice of AMSGO, Sumati said, they hosted a press conference at Manipur Press Club to bring this irregularity to light on September 15, 2015 .
Later, JNIMS authority issued another order stating that Dr Keisham Anupama had been appointed as the Assistant Professor in Anatomy Department against OBC (Meitei) quota.
Here, the moot question is how two persons could be appointed in the same category as the number of reserved seat for OBC (Meitei) was only one in Anatomy Department.
Sumati said that AMSGO would oppose the six-month service extension of JNIMS Director L Deben if he fails to come up with a clarification on the issue at the earliest.
