The strike was called off following assurance by the college dean that he would the city police to set up a permanent police chowky near the hostels and construct the broken compound wall. Rupesh Thakre, president of Students Association of IGGMC, told TOI that the students withdrew the strike and joined college and their duties.
“We gave a letter to the dean about calling off the strike this afternoon. The construction of the wall, which has many openings on the west side, parallel to the railway tracks, has already begun. The dean has also promised the students to speak to the police and set up a permanent police chowky near the hostels,” he said.
The students had gone on strike from Monday morning, following an incident of assault by sword and knife wielding goons on four MBBS students at around 1.30am on Sunday within the college premises. The incident, the latest in a series of assaults on medicos for various reasons, had raised many question marks over the security at IGGMC. The day after the incident, TOI had also reported how there are several points through which anti-socials gain entry on the premises.
