Imphal, January 02 2021:
JNIMS doctors have strengthened their resolution against extension of tenure of Th Bhimo as Director of the institute and took resolution to disobey the Director's orders/letters and boycott classes from January 4 .
In a letter to Chief Minister N Biren Singh, the doctors informed that they have formed a Coordinating Committee, JNIMS "against the extension of Prof Th Bhimo Singh/Unqualified person as Director, JNIMS" and took several resolutions.
Apart from boycotting the Director's orders/letters, the committee and students will boycott classes from January 4 onwards.
However, the boycott will exempt the ongoing university examination The committee is also writing a letter to the National Medical Commission (NMC) enclosing the extension order of Professor Th Bhimo "against the NMC norms" at the end of one week.
Drastic actions like cessation of COVID and hospital duties including emergency services will be taken up unless an eligible Director replaces Th Bhimo within a week, said the committee in the letter signed by Dr H Kulabidhu Singh and Dr Neerajkumar Sharma Manohar as convenor and secretary respectively.
The committee asserted that extension of service of Professor Th Bhimo Singh as Director JNIMS for another 6 months after completion of 70 years of age is against the norms/RR of JNIMS Society and the National Medical Commission.
A decision of the State Cabinet cannot overrule the NMC rules and regulations, said the committee.
