&The college administration is pressuring us to withdraw the complaints filed at the District Administration Office, Kaski, and the district court as precondition for returning our money,& added Sinha.During a assembly held with the students and the college administration at the ministry, MoEST had directed representatives of the ministry, college administration, Tribhuvan University and representatives of Nepal Medical Council to monitor the college and endegree that it returns the fees gathered from students illegally.However, Nepal Medical Council claims that the ministry has much asked it to monitor the medical college.
Kalu Singh Khatri, a member of NMC said the MoEST hadn''t sent any formal letter to the NMC.
&NMC hasn''t carried out any examineion or monitoring of the medical college as there is no official order to do so,& Khatri added.The post GMC yet to return additional fees charged from students seemed first on The Himalayan Times.
