Two medical student groups clash at VIMSAR during ‘Euphoria’

A violent clash between two groups of medical students was reported from VIMSAR, Burla on Tuesday. As per initial reports, the clash was reported between the student groups from Berhampur MKCG and Burla Sambalpur VIMSAR. The incident occurred during the ongoing inter-college medical festival ‘Euphoria’.

Though the exact reason behind the clash is yet to be ascertained, stones were pelted and even fire extinguishers were used on a bus which was full of students. The bus was also locked from outside which created problems for the students who complained of breathing issues.

Some students have been injured in the incident, sources said.

What is more surprising is the fact that the authorities claimed that they are not aware of the incident and efforts are on to ascertain what exactly happened.

MKCG student, Devitosh said, “This year, our students reached Burla for the inter-medical fest. When the bus reached the college, they were welcomed with fire extinguisher. Fire-extinguisher gas was sprayed inside the bus when our students were inside it.”

The injured students were admitted to casualty and their condition is stated to be stable.

“Our Dean has taken measures to bring our students back. We have asked the authorities to take appropriate legal action,” Devitosh added.
