AISA Protests Against Ragging in Patna!

On January 28th 2011, AISA protested against ragging at Patna Medical College and Hospital in Bihar. Recently, a first-year student of MBBS at the PMCH committed suicide after being ragged. Highlighting the complete inability of the college administration as well as the state government to take strong action against ragging, students marched from Darbhanga House to PMCH and gheraoed the principle of PMCH.

AISA has demanded a through enquiry into the circumstances that forced the first-year student to commit suicide. AISA has also demanded that students should also be represented in committees that investigate cases of ragging, so as to ensure a proper and impartial investigation. The absence of student representation is also a violation of Supreme Court guidelines on ragging that were issued after the Aman Kachroo suicide case. AISA will intensify its struggle against ragging in the days to come.
