House Surgeons Strike Over Emergency Facility Shortages at Palakkad Medical College
House surgeons at Government Medical College Hospital in Palakkad have launched and continued an indefinite strike over inadequate emergency facilities, including the absence of X-ray and CT scan services. The protest began after two accident victims were transferred to the Government District Hospital due to these shortcomings. Doctors demand improvements in infrastructure and emergency care. The college administration deployed postgraduate doctors to maintain services. Separately, BJP workers protested the hospital's condition by briefly locking the Principal in his office before police intervened.
