2014 police incident

On 28 February 2014, Samajwadi Party MLA from Sisamau, Irfan Solanki, his driver and official gunner were involved in a minor accident with two doctors of GSVMMC.

The gunner allegedly assaulted the two junior doctors. As more doctors arrived, Solanki and his gunner fled. Later, a large group of Samajwadi Party hoodlums arrived and beat up many students. Following the incident, heavy police force was deployed but was unable to control the growing tension from both sides.[2]

Heavy police force, comprising PAC and RAF, rushed to the spot to control the situation by carrying out a heavy raid on GSVM hostels. The following morning, 1 March 2014, the late night raid carried out by police presented a sordid picture of police high-handedness and the pitched battle waged by junior doctors. Besides violating personal rights and properties of many hostel residents, police destroyed windowpanes and door locks to get into the rooms of residents. The principal of college Navneet Kumar, who was trying to calm the situation down, was misbehaved and insulted. According to Navneet Kumar, among the students who were seriously injured, one of them suffered a pelvic fracture.[3][4]

As a reaction to the raid, GSVM and Lala Lajpat Rai Hospital went on an indefinite strike in protest against police atrocities. The strike was supported at six other medical colleges in the state. Meanwhile, the IMA announced that its members would remain on strike across the state on 2 March 2014 to protest police action. The strike at the GSVM Hospital, called by the IMA has crippled services in wards at the associated Hallett Hospital.[3][4]

Upgradation

In August 2014, the Government of India decided to upgrade the institute along with six other medical college hospitals in Uttar Pradesh, as part of phase-3 of Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY) whereby the Central Government will bear 80% of the cost of up gradation and 20% cost will be borne by State Government.[5] The upgrading plan started with 12 other Government Medical College/Institutions on 03.08.2016 at the cost of 200 crore (Central Share: Rs. 120 Crore, State share: Rs. 80 crore) each under Phase-IV of Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY).[6]
