December 29th 2024.
In a recent development, four doctors from MKCG Medical College & Hospital in Berhampur have been terminated from their positions, while a second-year postgraduate resident has been banned from the hostel for six months. This action was taken as a result of an incident that took place on December 20, where a student was allegedly assaulted by his seniors.
The terminated doctors include Purushottam Swain, an assistant professor of orthopedics, and three senior residents, Aryan Kumar Mohanty, Chinmay Pradhan, and Yashwant Veera, who were working as contractual doctors in the paediatric department. On the other hand, Priyajeet Sahoo, a second-year postgraduate resident in orthopedics, has been barred from the hostel for six months.
This decision was made during a college council meeting on December 23 and was carried out under the guidance of the director of medical education and training, for disciplinary reasons. The dean and principal of the medical college, Suchitra Dash, confirmed this action and stated that it was necessary to maintain discipline and ensure the safety of the students.
The incident came to light when the victim, a postgraduate student, filed a complaint with the Baidyanathpur police station, leading to the registration of a case. According to the victim, he was assaulted by his senior on the hostel premises at around 12:30am on December 20. The police are currently investigating the matter.
This incident has caused concern and raised questions about the safety of students in the medical college. The authorities have taken strict action to address the issue and ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future. The terminated doctors and the banned resident will no longer be associated with the medical college, and the police investigation will continue to bring justice to the victim.
