Dental college students on fast-unto-death in Jammu

Jammu: After holding agitations for over a month in support of their demand for recognition to Indira
Gandhi Government Dental College, students on Monday sat on fast-unto-death inside the campus.

Four student leaders- Pawan Singh Jasrotia, Asif Iqbal Choudhary, Gulshan Kumar and Jehangir Ahmed- sat on fast-unto-death before the administrative block of the college
in Jammu.

"The students are on fast-unto-death in support of their demands and government's failure to get approval and recognition from Dental Council of India (DCI)," Jasrotia told reporters in Jammu.

The agitating students, who are on indefinite strike since August 10, raised slogans against the college administration and government.

The students had also met Union Minister for Health Ghulam Nabi Azad but claimed that though he belongs to the state he was not very forthcoming on their demand.
