NEW DELHI: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has withdrawn the Letter of Permission (LoP) issued to the YSR Government Medical College, Andhra Pradesh for the academic session 2024-25, following the request of Directorate of Medical Education (DME). The directorate stated that the college lacks proper infrastructure due to delay in the execution of works.
