The Lokopriya Gopinath Bordoloi Regional Institute of Mental Health (LGBRIMH) in Tezpur, Assam, is embroiled in a major controversy following allegations of corruption, mismanagement, and forgery. A psychiatrist associated with the institution has come forward with complaints of fraudulent procurement practices, falsified certifications, and systemic governance failures.
Established in 1876, LGBRIMH has undergone significant transformations over the years, becoming a regional center under the Northeast Council (NEC) and later an autonomous institution under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW)
