Eviction begins on VSS premises

BURLA: The district administration on Monday began eviction drive from the premises of VSS Medical College and Hospital. This comes after a High Court directive following the student unrest at VSS Medical a few months back. The students had paralysed health services and demanded eviction of unauthorised occupants from the campus. On Monday morning, all kiosks and  eateries along the VSS medical road were demolished. In the next phase, illegal shops and constructions will be pulled down.The process was peaceful with Burla NAC Chairperson Chandrabati Naik announcing that the ‘oustees’ would be rehabilitated by the district administration.
