Students of Mahadevappa Rampure Medical College and Khaja Bande Nawaz Institute of Medical Science participated in the protest march from the Basaveshwar Teaching and General Hospital to the Deputy Commissioner’s office.

They raised slogans against the State government for making rural service mandatory for those who successfully complete MBBS.
