Dharna demanding solution to Wenlock para-medical students problem
Mangaluru, November 21: Students led by Students Federation of India (SFI) staged a dharna in front of the deputy commissioner’s office here on Wednesday, urging the authorities to begin the academic activities for the second year para-medical students of the Wenlock Hospital besides appointing permanent lecturers.
Addressing the students, SFI district president Charan Shetty said that the hospital authorities should immediately start the classes to the students and the deputy commissioner should intervene to appoint lecturers.
The hospital authorities should stop using the students like labourers and provide basic facilities at the college. Instead of using the doctors to teach, the authorities should appoint permanent lecturers, he demanded.
District secretary Madhuri Bolara said that in the name of coaching and practical, the students were being forced to work in the hospital and even they were being threatened of giving TC if they protested. So, the district administration should intervene and solve the problem and ensure justice to the students, she demanded.
CPM leader Sunil Kumar Bajal said that it was shame on part of the Dakshina Kannada district, which was identified itself as an education hub, for ill-treating the students of the para-medical college. Like contract labourers, the students were being used for hospital works. Classes were not being conducted. It was not fair to torture the students who have lot of dreams for their future, he said.
SFI leaders Mayuri, Vikas Kuttar and para-medical students participated in the protest.

New Delhi (PTI): Outside one of the country's largest high-security prisons, Tihar jail, a late-night emergency call had nothing to do with inmates or a security alarm; it was for a puppy that was stuck inside an open pit.
The incident, which was reported to the Delhi Fire Service (DFS) at 12.55 am on Friday, triggered a multi-agency rescue operation, an official said.
Equipped with specialised tools, teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and the DFS rushed to the Tihar Prison Complex's Gate No 1 and made several attempts to rescue the animal, he added.
But, even after prolonged efforts, the puppy could not be saved, officials said.
"Personnel from multiple agencies, equipped with specialised tools, made several attempts to rescue the puppy, but it could not be saved," an officer said.
The rescue operation continued for over three hours, he added.
