Shimla, December 9

Coming out in support of striking dentists and undergraduate BDS students of the Government Dental College, Resident doctors of Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital (IGMC) today urged Health Minister Kaul Singh Thakur to accept their long-pending demands.

The striking dentists raised slogans on the premises of the IGMC and reiterated their demands, which include recruitment of dentists on a regular basis and adequate facilities in the hospital for better treatment. Besides, dentists blamed the college authorities for ignoring their demand for proper OPDs and hostel facilities over the years.

Supported by the Resident Doctors Association of IGMC, the agitating dentists submitted a memorandum to the Health Minister, seeking redressal of their grievances at the earliest.

Apart from demanding a proper hostel and OPD facilities, dentists sought action against the dental college staffers, who had been misbehaving with the dentist and BDS students.
