Doctors across Telangana on Friday staged a protest against a string of violent attacks on the medical fraternity.

Holding placards, the doctors of government and private hospitals, members of the Indian Medical Association-Telangana chapter, participated in the nationwide protest demanding that the Centre brings in a law to make such attacks a non-bailable offence and for the culprits to be tried in a fast track court. They also wanted hospitals to be treated as protected zones.
