King George's Medical University (KGMU) is preparing to recover millions of rupees allegedly lost to financial irregularities within its urology department.

An FIR will be registered once these records are provided, paving the way for the recovery of the misappropriated funds. The Chowk police station has requested inquiry reports and supporting documents from KGMU.
In response to serious lapses found in the handling of public funds for patient care, disciplinary actions have been implemented. The head of the urology department has been transferred, a pharmacist suspended, and the services of three ad hoc employees terminated. The university intends to recover misused funds from the agency that employed the dismissed staff.
