Imphal, July 18 2011:
The attention of the authority of Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal, has been drawn to a tendentious, baseless and highly misleading report published in the Manipuri and English editions of The Sangai Express on July 18, 2011 .
It would be wrong to presume that the promoted doctors can further be promoted to the post of Director.
Promotions of Doctors at RIMS are made as per approved existing Recruitment Rules.
It is also wrong to say that the documents relating to the proposal for giving time scale promotions had been returned by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare.
In fact the recent promotions were made after receipt of approval from the Ministry.
It is also equally outlandish to say that money collected from the Out Patient Department and corpus fund is used in payment of these promotees.Separate salary head is provided in the institute's budget for payment of salary of all the employees of the institute.
In order to maintain balance and credibility it is requested that the facts be confirmed before going to press from the Media Adviser of RIMS, Imphal.
The telephone Nos.and email ids of the Media Adviser, RIMS are in all newspaper offices and with correspondents.
