Imphal, August 29 2011:
The Director, all staff and students of Regional Institute of Medical Sciences will launch a sit-in protest on Tuesday from 9.30 am to 12.30 pm.
The Out Patient Department shall remain closed since all the doctors have decided to take part in the protest.
However emergency services will be there in the casualty department.
The decision was taken in a meeting of the faculties and other officials today afternoon.
This is in protest against the planting of a hand grenade in the OPD by some unkown persons on Saturday.
The meeting also condemned the acts of intimidation in a hospital in this manner which could have endangered the lives of innocent people.
Several speakers said that as is done elsewhere in the world hospitals should be left alone.
Besides RIMS is a medical college catering to medical education to students from the country in general and NE region in particular.
Further course of action will be taken during the sit-in protest tomorrow.
