Protests erupted outside Jammu's Lok Bhawan as Hindu groups, including the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Sangharsh Samiti and BJP women's wing, demonstrated against the MBBS admission list for Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence. Protesters burned an effigy of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, demanding seats be reserved for Hindu students, citing the college's funding from Hindu devotees. The current batch includes 42 Muslims and seven Hindus. The LG, as chairman of the shrine board, is urged to address religious sentiments.
