Unhappy with the recent shift in control of the Grant Government Medical College Students’ Association (GMCSA) Gymkhana, a group of 60 to 80 medical students gathered at the gymkhana grounds near Marine Drive on Friday morning. The gymkhana currently includes an open field, old sports facilities, and a cricket pitch shared with the Police Gymkhana.

Earlier this year, management of the GMCSA Gymkhana was transferred from the college’s elected general secretary to a government-appointed body. The new committee includes representatives from the Directorate of Medical Education and Research, officials from the Medical Education and Pharmaceuticals Department, the dean, the student general secretary, and the superintendent of Sir JJ Group of Hospitals.
