Another student said that the students even do not have any vehicle to go from school to Medical College. They have to go to Medical College by auto or other vehicles. Most of the students are from outside the district and they are staying in rented rooms.
But the Health department staff is staying in the hostel that has been built for the students. The hostel should be vacated as soon as possible and given to the students so that they can pursue their studies without any hassle. The condition of the toilets built in the AMT school has also become very dilapidated and no attention is being paid to this.
Every time an attempt is made to suppress our demands, but now we have come out on the streets with our demands and will rest only after getting our demands fulfilled, he added.
These students also met Chief Medical Officer Dr Rajendra Kumar Langar and informed him about their problems.
The Chief Medical Officer assured the students that efforts will be made to address their demands as soon as possible.
