PGIMER Increases Penalties for Commercial Violations to Protect Patients
The Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) has increased penalties for commercial establishments on its campus to enhance accountability and protect patients. New contractors face fines of up to Rs 50,000 for violations such as overcharging, failure to display rate lists, selling expired products, and unhygienic conditions. Existing contractors remain under previous penalty terms. The changes follow a committee review aimed at ensuring fair pricing, cleanliness, and compliance with safety norms to improve patient and visitor experience.
