NTR University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS) Registrar S. Babulal appeared before State Information Commissioner M. Vijaya Nirmala at the Sub-Collector’s office here on Thursday to explain the status of a petition filed under the Right to Information Act.

The petition is related to the suicide of M. Srilakshmi, a post-graduate student of G.S.L. Medical College at Rajanagaram in East Godavari district on February 13, 2014.

Petition

Ms. Srilakshmi’s father Sankar Prasad filed the petition on April 9, 2014 seeking information on the departmental action which the NTRUHS was supposed to take against those responsible for the suicide of his daughter but according to him there was no response from the university.

Finding fault with the negligent attitude of NTRUHS officials, Ms. Vijaya Nirmala told Mr. Babulal that she would organise an inquiry at the NTRUHS in about three weeks if the information sought by the petitioner is not furnished. Mr. Sankar Prasad told The Hindu that NTRUHS officials cited different excuses for not providing the information to him in spite of several reminders.
