Why did BJ Medical College students protest over the hostel?
Recently, in Ahmedabad, students of BJ Medical College were protesting over the hostel issues, and while sharing photos, they mentioned that the hostel is unsuitable for living. This protest was for the ladies’ hostel situated in the ‘C’ block of the college campus. This hostel is located in the campus of Civil Hospital. According to the report received from the executive engineer of health, medical services, and family welfare, the project implementation unit, the entire e hostel is unsuitable and dilapidated for living.
While protesting over the hostel issues, students of BJ Medical college also shared photos and videos of ceiling and wall cracks, which are falling apart. This puts the lives of the students at risk. In this hostel block, there are 136 rooms.
As per the reports, the hostel building is 50 years old, and hence, a test related to its structural capabilities must be carried out. Structural expert teams must visit the building, and based on their findings, they should take further actions. Within two months, the structural team experts will give their reports. During this time, the college administration should take up renovation work and send the girls of this hostel to another safer facility.
A hostel resident commented on this issue, saying that due to the falling of chunks of concrete from ceilings, three girls have been injured over the last 15 days. Among these three injured girls, one suffered from a fracture in the leg, another escaped with minor scratches, and the third one suffered minor injuries.
Also, there have been cases of electrocution on using water geysers. Moreover, waterlogging is another major issue in this hostel. The drainage system is choked, and as a result, the rooms get flooded.
According to reports, not only the ‘C’ block but the condition of the ‘D’ block is also similar and needs urgent repairs. Therefore, in the protest rally the President of the Junior Doctors Association, Oman Prajapati, stated that they will continue to protest until the issues are resolved.

This will help increase your confidence. Many questions were asked in the examination from the previous year’s question papers. So you should try to collect and practice as many question papers as you can from the previous years.

While practicing at home or during the examination of your mathematics paper, keep your watch in front to time yourself better.
