We have met the Ministers concerned and requested them to take up the matter with the Chief Minister as well as Union Government to get more PG seats," they informed. "Even we met the officials of the Medical Council of India and they told us that the directions had to come from the Union Health Ministry," they claimed and appealed to the CM to look into the matter as soon as possible. "I am in Delhi to meet the Secretary of MCI regarding PG seats, "Director, SKIMS Dr Omar Javed Shah said. Dr Omar cleared that all documents and other formalities had been completed and submitted to MCI one and half month back for seeking more seats this year.
