The patients are being treated with the expired medicines at government Ayurved college and hospital, Gwarighat. Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM) member Surendra Patel personally visited at the hospital and saw that the patients were being given these medicines.

Patel had made surprise visit to investigate at the ayurvedic college as he had received complaint against the college administration and employees.

When Patel reached to ask the patients he became stunned to see expiry date medicines.

Earlier, complaints were given about the irregularities of ayurvedic college and hospital administration that expiry date medicines were being given to the patients. Patel found the complaint true.

The medical college students also complained that they were asked to give bribe and were threatened to make them fail.

The students also complained about misbehaviour of lecturers.

CCIM member Patel said that the hospital is being run in rented building and principal said that the under construction building will be completed in one or two years.

Patel also expressed resentment as Panch Karm wing has not been shifted to decided place. He said that the building for shifting the wing has been constructed by why it was not shifted so far.

Patel found that there was lack of nursing staff in the hospital. He said that 13 such patients were found who were admitted for last 2 or 3 days so it will be difficult to say the college administration might have admitted these patients keeping in view his visit. Patel said that there is need to much reform at the college. He also said the report of irregularities will be handed over to government. College principal GL Titoni and several lecturers were present on the occasion.
