Medical students’ demonstration

Staff Reporter



UP IN ARMS: A medical student holds a placard during a protest against the Bill on one-year compulsory internship for medical students, in Bangalore on Thursday.

BANGALORE: Medical students from colleges in and around the city came together on Thursday to protest against the proposed ‘One year compulsory internship Bill’.

The protest was supported by several students’ organisations like All India Democratic Students’ Organisation (AIDSO) and Medical Students Action Committee. Students raised slogans against the Centre and said the Government was playing with their lives.

The Bill will increase the duration of the five-and-half-year course by a year and make it mandatory for medical students from private and government colleges to go through rural internship. Students at the protest rally said the Bill would be “an attack on their basic rights”.
