A medical college in Katra that got the National Medical Commission’s green signal to run an MBBS course just four months ago is now asked to shut it down, four days after an inspection conducted in haste. The latest NMC decision unabashedly short-circuited due process — there was no show-cause notice to the college, no room for appeals. This was the result of a national exam administered fairly and freely. The cost of the NMC’s cave-in will be borne by the students, of course, and by the faculty at SMVDIME. In their speeches, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah have underlined that promise.
