SRMC students fate yet to be decided by the Supreme Court
Advertisement
After the recent intervention by the Supreme Court in the matter of transfer of students of Sardar Rajas Medical College (SRMC) to two government medical colleges; the matter continues to be inconclusive.
Earlier, the apex court had banned the students from attending classes till January 08. The further on ground reports say that the Supreme Court has now directed the state authorities concerned to maintain the status quo. In other words, the SRMC students are still now allowed to attend the classes.
This development is another major setback to the students, who were heaving some sigh of relief after being granted admissions to the government-run medical colleges in Odisha. Now, once again their fate continues to hang in balance.
This decision by the apex court is in conflict with the earlier decision by the Orissa High Court which directed the transfer of students to the VIMSAR at Burla, MKCG Medical College at Berhampur and private medical colleges in the State. The state government’s action on the order was met with protest and resistance from VIMSAR students.
