GMC Jagtial Medical Students Protest Over Delayed Infrastructure and Facilities
Medical students at Government Medical College (GMC), Jagtial, Telangana, began an indefinite peaceful protest on October 7, 2026, over nearly four years of delays in completing the permanent college building and hostels. Students continue classes in temporary structures with limited laboratories and inadequate accommodation, including overcrowded rented hostels with shared washrooms. The Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) supports the protest, urging authorities to address basic infrastructure needs such as transport, mess, and academic facilities to ensure quality medical education.
