Paramedical students of Wenlock hospital stage protest

Mangaluru: The second-year batch paramedical students of Government Wenlock hospital staged a protest in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s Office on November 11, Wednesday against the non-commencement of their classes at the hospital, though the academic year began around three months ago.

The protest was held under the aegis of Students Federation of India (SFI). 

Addressing the protestors, SFI District President Charan Shetty urged the DC to intervene in this matter that has inconvenienced the students enrolled at the institute. 

Alleging that the district medical officer Dr. Rajeshwaridevi had the least concern for the students, CITU district secretary Sunil Kumar Bajal questioned why approval had been given to start the course at the hospital if it was lacking both in facilities as well as teaching faculty.

SFI district secretary Madhuri Bolar and others were present.
