Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on June 2 ordered a probe into the alleged embezzlement of funds and other lapses that led to a financial crunch in the Punjab Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), a premier healthcare institute of the Doaba region.
Chairing the 37th governing body meeting of the PIMS society in Chandigarh, Mr. Mann said, “Financial crunch in this apex institute is a serious concern and the State government cannot sit on its hand and allow this conspiracy to jeopardise healthcare services in the State.”
