AHMEDABAD: The protest at BJ Medical College and Civil Hospital against Dr Kamlesh Upadhyay, professor and head of the department (HoD) of medicine, for the alleged “ill-treatment” meted out to final-year MBBS students, entered its nineteenth day on Sunday.
The students have now threatened to boycott Out Patient Department (OPD) duties from February 1. But they will serve in the emergency and attend to Covid patients, they said. The protest intensified on Sunday after students and the JDA alleged that Dr Upadhyay has threatened to “fail students if protests are not withdrawn.”
