Staff Reporter

VIJAYAWADA: The meeting of the academic senate of Dr. N.T.R. University of Health Sciences (NTR-UHS) convened on Thursday mainly to elect a member to the Medical Council of India has been postponed in view of certain complaints received from the contestants and a public interest litigation filed in the High Court by one Dr. Tapadia.

The PIL was reportedly filed questioning the eligibility of university Vice-Chancellor A.V. Krishnam Raju to contest for the post.
