Jhansi: Four junior doctors of Jhansi medical college were detained by police after they forcibly tried to meet CM Yogi Adityanath with a set of demands including a 24-hour AC Library, gymnasium and a new hostel, during his visit on Sunday.
The incident triggered a commotion when four junior doctors led by junior doctor’s association president Dr Hardeep Jogi dashed towards the area where the CM was about to brief waiting press reporters.
Alert police and security personnel dashed towards them to prevent a security breach and took the memorandum in their possession while junior doctors engaged in a scuffle. The police personnel overpowered the doctors and whisked them away.
SP City Vivek Tripathi said police had no idea about the credentials of the four persons. “Since the area was under high security we took them to a different place, interrogated them, and let them go after coming to know that they were junior doctors,” he said.
The Resident Doctor’s Association took to twitter to condemn the police action saying junior doctors are the backbone of the medical college.
Jhansi DM Andra Vamsi said the demands of the junior doctors were being taken into consideration and assessed.
Jhansi Medical College principal, Dr Narendra Singh Sengar said the junior residents were not aware of the protocol. “Their demands are under consideration,” he said.
