Udhampur, Feb. 8 -- Government Medical College (GMC) Udhampur has been without a principal since December 31, 2024, following the retirement of Dr. Mrityunjay Gupta.
More than a month has passed, and the lack of leadership has led to growing concerns among students, faculty, and hospital staff.
The absence of a principal has resulted in administrative delays, affecting academic schedules, faculty approvals, and hospital management. Students preparing for exams are struggling with a lack of clear directives, while faculty members are awaiting approvals for research and other academic matters.
While temporary arrangements have been made, the long-term impact of this leadership vacuum remains uncertain.
