Balangir: House surgeons of Bhima Bhoi Medical College and Hospital in Odisha’s Balangir staged a cease-work agitation on Friday protesting alleged assault on a house surgeon of the college.

The prortesters have been sitting on dharna since Thursday evening after a miscreant, identified as Samir Badamali from Rajendrapara in Balangir, allegedly assaulted a house surgeon of the hospital, Biswaranjan Sahu.

The victim is now undergoing treatment in the ICU of the hospital and his condition is said to be critical.

The protesting doctors have demanded immediate arrest of the miscreant under the National Security Act (NSA).

On being informed, Balangir district Collector and SP visited the Medical College and held discussion with the agitating students. Health services have been partly affected by the agitation of the house surgeons and other students, sources said.

While police have launched an investigation into the incident, the superintendent of the medical college held talks with the agitating students and persuaded them to call off the agitation.

The protesters, however, continued their strike by wearing bandages on their heads and marched towards the OPD of the hospital in a bid to shut the facility. They were stopped by the police personnel present at the site.
