THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The State Government on Thursday ordered an inquiry into the admissions made to the Pariyaram Medical College during the last five years. A high-level committee appointed by the government will also examine the financial transactions related to the admissions made during this period. The committee will submit its report within three months. The order for a probe follows reports that payment seats dominate the scene at the self-financing college, which is controlled by a cooperative society. Merit quotas have taken a poor back seat there, according to reports. The Pariyaram Medical College in Kannur district was in the news recently following a ruckus over the PG admission of Health Minister Adoor Prakash’s daughter Yamuna. The issue had snowballed into a controversy, but Prakash denied allegations that the seat was obtained unlawfully. But he announced that his daughter was giving up the seat on moral grounds.
