He said that this shortcoming will be removed soon. He said that the process of filling up the posts of Professor and Associate Professor in medical colleges was going to start soon.
On the police recruitment scam, Thakur said that as soon as he got the information about the paper leak at 11.30 am, the FIR was registered and in the morning he gave orders to cancel the paper. He said that the investigation was going on and the culprits would not be spared. He said that the culprits would be located from any corner of the country and brought to book.
