Students threaten immolation
With no solution to the pending demands of nearly 12,000 electrohomeopathy students in the State, five disillusioned office-bearers including the city-based president of the Medical Association of Electrohomeopathy Dr Satish Jagdale have threatened self-immolation in front of the Mantralaya on Monday.
The State Government in 1988 ruled that the three and a half year BEMS course was not recognised with even the medical councils turning a blind eye. But the BEMS graduates suffered as they had studied the course from private colleges but due to the rule were not able to conduct their practice.
The State Government arrested such passed out doctors who conducted 8220;illegal8221; practice. The institutions which conducted the course provided false information regarding the sanction by the Health Ministry of the Central Government. Despite agitations and repeated demands of the harried lot, the State Government has time and again deferred the issue. Fed up with the time-consuming process of solving the problems of 12,000 such students, Jagdale along with Dr Sanjay Khedekar from Pune, Dr Shashikant Patil from Kolhapur, Dr T Gaikwad, Dr Bharat Vairage and Dr Shekhar Gujbhare have decided to resort to self-immolation on Monday in front of Mantralaya.
