Hyderabad, February 01: Heavy police posse was posted at the Gandhi Hospital in Secunderabad, as tension prevailed on the eighth day of the junior doctors’ strike. As the medicos called for “Chalo Hyderabad”, their colleagues from various parts of the State, started pouring into the city.
Sensing trouble, police have closed the gates of Gandhi Hospital.
Addressing the media, junior doctors said that a heavy posse of police force and their trucks surrounded the hospital. They said that they failed to understand why police were over-reacting to their peaceful agitation.
They have pointed out that patients were being put to severe hardship, unnecessarily by the police. (NSS)
