Province 1, Sunsari, Dharan
Three hundred and fifty junior doctors of BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS) have been staging a sit-in in BPKIHS for the last three days demanding the government revise the newly endorsed Medical Education Bill. Doctors said that the sit-in has been organised to express their solidarity with Dr Govinda KC, the anti-corruption crusader, who has been staging his 16th fast-unto-death strike demanding reforms be made in the medical sector. Dr Kabiraj Paudel said that their sit-in will continue until the government addresses KC’s demands.(PR)
