The Supreme Court has issued a directive to the government to grant affiliation to the Jhapa-based B&C Medical College.

A joint bench of Justices Kumar Chundal and Saranga Subedi issued the directive on Monday to grant affiliation to the B & C Medical College.

A controversy had erupted regarding the affiliation of the Medical College opened by medical entrepreneur Durga Prasai.

After not getting the affiliation even by completing all the procedures, Prasai filed a case on October 16, 2020.
