The Service Doctors and Post Graduate Association will hold a dharna at the Madras Medical College on Saturday demanding that the State government protect the rights of service candidates.

The Madras High Court on Friday quashed the merit list for PG admissions in medical and dental courses offered in the State.

The Doctors’ Association for Social Equality has blamed the Centre’s policies that usurped the State government’s autonomy. Association general secretary G.R. Ravindranath said the Centre should immediately bring an ordinance to provide 50% quota for service candidates and enable States to follow their rules of reservation.

K. Senthil of Tamil Nadu Government Doctors Association said it would cause chaos if the court order were to be complied with.
