Hostel Living Conditions

Eight thousand resident doctors in Maharashtra are on an indefinite strike over appalling living conditions in hostels and low monthly stipends, which are often delayed by months.

A junior resident doctor of Delhi's premier AIIMS hospital allegedly jumped off the 10th floor of a hostel building around 5 pm today. He is in a critical condition, according to the police. The 25-year-old works in the Department of Psychiatry at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in south Delhi and lived in the hostel.

As if stinking toilets, unpicked garbage, cramped quarters, a lack of drinking water and non-existent security were not horrors enough for residents of the Government Boys' Hostel in Kasarwadi, the cooks at the hostel have now run away. This has left the boys living in the hostel starving for four days now.
