Addressing the press conference, Dr Singh said the university needs to ensure that its executive council gets the four elected members in its 22-member EC. “At present the nominated members are taking decisions related to patient care, and services of teachers and this is happening without any opposition or thorough discussion which the elected members can do,” said Dr Singh. “We demand the university to get its EC the four elected members in addition to the existing nominated members before the next meeting,” said Dr Santosh Kumar.
