GORAKHPUR, Oct. 9 -- The principal of the Maharshi Devaraha Baba Medical College in UP's Deoria was removed from the post following "severe lapses in monitoring and security" on the campus after the sanitation staff found a decomposed body of a man in the college's overhead water tank. The action came following serious administrative lapses uncovered during an inspection by the Deoria district magistrate. The principal had claimed that the tank was connected to only the toilets/bathrooms on the campus. Later, it was found to be connected to the kitchen and wards also, which was clarified by college officials. The body was suspected to have been in the tank for nearly 10 days. Unaware, the students and staff had been using the water until foul odour prompted them to stop. A probe into the issue was set up under Deoria district magistrate Divya Mittal. "Deoria medical college principal, Dr Rajesh Kumar Baranwal, is removed from the post. Until the probe is completed, he is attached with the office of director-general (medical education)," stated the order from the medical education department. Dr Rajni, head anatomy at Etah medical college, has been given additional charge of the Deoria medical college. Baranwal said supply from the tank was immediately disconnected after the recovery of the body. He added that water samples have been sent to Lucknow for laboratory testing....
