MGM Medical College and Hospital has set up a three-member inquiry team and has decided to beef up security measures in the hospital premises following a clash between the Home Guards posted there and junior doctors over alleged obscenity near nurse hostel in the wee hours of Tuesday.
The Home Guards have written to the superintendent of MGM Medical College Hospital, demanding the arrest of the erring junior doctors allegedly for assaulting them on duty. Three Home Guard jawans and a junior doctors were injured. According to the Home Guards, last night a car arrived under a tree close to the nurse hostel on the hospital premises. After sometime, the home-guard on duty saw a youth in compromising situation with a nursing staff inside the car. When the Home Guard protested to the obscene act, the youth inside the car introduced himself as a junior doctor and assaulted him.
As mark of protest Home Guard jawans have stopped attending their duty and have gone on strike. The hospital superintendent SS Prasad, when asked, confirmed that a clash had taken place between the Home Guards and a group of junior doctors past midnight.
