JIPMER strike committee to meet PM

Special Correspondent

Puducherry: A delegation of the JIPMER Anti Conversion Action Committee would visit New Delhi soon to meet the President, Prime Minister and AICC leader Sonia Gandhi to seek their good offices to ensure that the proposed autonomy for the JIPMER here did not affect the continued availability of free medical and health care facilities in the institute.

A spokesman told newsmen here on Tuesday that the delegation would have the meeting with the leaders in New Delhi before Diwali and present memorandum to them.

Stating that the committee was not practically opposed to autonomy as such, the spokesman said there should be guarantee of job, availability of a major chunk of seats in the MBBS and other courses in the JIPMER to students of the Union Territory. There should be unambiguous commitment in this regard in the proposed legislation through which autonomy would be granted to the institute.
