A few days ago the resident doctors had staged an agitation in front of the director's office and demanded the deployment of security staff and resident doctors. This came after a resident doctor working at Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGI), Chandigarh became a punching bag to a grieving attendant after he was slapped by a lady on the demise of her mother. Though the doctor did not file an FIR against her, the Association of Resident Doctors has demanded a formal apology.

Dr Rahul, president of the Association of Resident Doctors, PGI stated that the incident took place in the Emergency and ARD staged agitation demanding deployment of staff. After this, Prof Jain, HOD IM promised that he would appoint more JRs and SRs in an emergency and keeping his words the department held interviews to fill 5 vacant posts in the department.
