In Kerala, protests demanding the resignation of Health Minister Veena George have continued unabated, with the Congress youth wing intensifying its agitation. On Friday, demonstrators took their concerns to the streets of a coastal district, voicing opposition to the minister.
Youth Congress activists targeted the office of the District Medical Officer (DMO), calling for George's resignation in response to the tragic death of a 52-year-old woman, which followed the collapse of a building section at the Kottayam Government Medical College.
As tensions soared, protestors clashed with police, who used water cannons to disperse them. Arrests were made as protestors continued to demand accountability for what they say are systemic issues in the health sector.
