“In the recently conducted interviews for the four posts of Lecturer in General Surgery, existing in Jammu Medical College, all the four lecturers selected belong to majority community out of whom, three belong to the Valley,” he said and added that out of 20 posts of B Grade Specialists, only three selected Anaesthesiologists are from Jammu region.
