GUWAHATI: The All Assam Homoeopathic Medical College Students' Union filed an FIR on Friday in opposition to a few Assam Police staff for having allegedly lathicharged and manhandled them while they have been staging a demonstration at Last Gate in the town on Wednesday. The union has also threatened to forcibly close down 3 homoeopathic colleges and hospitals in the state for an indefinite duration from March three.
Over 250 homoeopathic docs, junior docs and scholars from the three homoeopathic colleges and hospitals of the state have been participating in the demonstration at Last Gate from February 26 to 28 to highlight their grievances and long standing demands when police allegedly lathicharged to disperse them. President of the union, Eyasin Ikram Farazi sustained a head injury while feminine docs and scholars alleged of being manhandled and lathicharged by means of male policemen during the incident.
Farazi mentioned, "We were demonstrating in a peaceful manner at Last Gate to highlight the pathetic condition of the homoeopathic colleges and hospitals in the state. Many of doctors passing out from these hospitals are still unemployed. But a few policemen started lathicharging on us illegally. A policeman dragged me by my hand while another hit me on the head with his stick. I have suffered from a skull bone fracture and had to be admitted in the hospital. Moreover, male policemen also beat up and manhandled our female doctors and students who had participated in the demonstration."
"We have filed an FIR at the Dispur Police Station today against these policemen. We strongly condemn their inhuman action. We want strict action to be taken against the guilty. Since our long standing demands have not been met by the government, we will close down the three homoeopathic colleges and hospitals in the state for an indefinite period from March 3," Farazi, who has been released from the hospital now, added.
