Govt to take over Pariyaram Medical College, says C N Balakrishnan

The state government will take over the Pariyaram Medical College Hospital, said Cooperative Minister C N Balakrishnan. The last cabinet meet had decided to take over the hospital, he said. The minister said the employees of the hospital would be retained and the legal side of it is being examined. The finance department has been entrusted to calculate the assets and liabilities of the hospital differently.

When asked him about CMP general secretary M V Raghavan’s demand for fresh elections after dissolving the administration panel of the hospital, the minister told them to

the former about it. M V Jayarajan had earlier stated that the government takeover of the college will not be opposed if all the existing employees of the hospital are absorbed as government

employees.
