Varanasi: Students and junior doctors of Sir Sunderlal Hospital in the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) on Tuesday went on a strike to protest against a lathicharge against anti-reservation protesters.
The medicos alleged that the guards injured seven students who were collecting signatures at the university gate against the reservation policy.
Doctors didn’t report for duty and students boycotted classes to press for their demand that the guards and officials responsible for the lathicharge be punished. This was the second time in a week that the doctors and students have gone on strike.
The medicos will step up their agitation against the Centre’s decision to reserve 27 per cent seats in higher educational institutions for other Other Backward Classes (OBCs), said a student leader.
