In his memorandum, Dr. KC demanded the restoration of the Medical Education Commission’s autonomy, correction of unauthorized seat allocations, and transparent appointments in the Geta Medical University. He also called for issuing an ordinance with clear criteria for appointing university officials, taking action against those involved in the disappearance and murder of Nirmala Kurmi, and proceeding with legal action against medical college operators involved in fake certificate cases.
He further urged the government to deliver justice to conflict victims, conclude the transitional justice process impartially, appoint qualified individuals to the Truth and Reconciliation and Disappearance Commissions, increase medical staffing in government hospitals, and take legal action against those responsible for ordering the shooting of youth protesters and arson attacks during recent movements.
