OBC quota: Medicos take out procession in Mysore 

The processionists, including students from JSS Medical College,
Mysore Medical College, and junior doctors, passed through the main
thoroughfares of the city and culminated at the Deputy Commissioner's
office.

Over 1,000 students of various city medical colleges today took out a
procession against the Centre going ahead with the reservation of 27
per cent seats in higher education for OBCs.

The processionists, including students from JSS Medical College,
Mysore Medical College, and junior doctors, passed through the main
thoroughfares of the city and culminated at the Deputy Commissioner's
office. They submitted a memorandum to Deputy Commissioner S Selva
Kumar, urging the Union Government to withdraw the order immediately.
They also shouted slogans against the Centre and Union Human Resources
Minister Arjun Singh.

Traffic was disturbed in many places following the procession.

Meanwhile, the relay hunger strike by medicos in front of the
Cheluvamma Hospital continued for the sixth day today.

The agitation by the junior doctors had completely thrown out of gear
services at the K R Hospital, including emergency services.
