Early Times Report
JAMMU, Oct 6: A lobby exercising influence over various quarters has successfully hushed up a scam involving diversion of Rs 1.53 Crores in Government Medical College and Hospital (GMC&H) Jammu, despite assurances by Minister for Health and Medical Education (H&ME) Department in State Legislative Assembly to probe the same shortly.
Moreover, in the month of June 2016, Minister for H&ME had also assured the members of Legislative Assembly to constitute a high level committee to look into the matter but surprisingly after four months the Minister has failed to get the issue investigated.
