The participants of a protest walk against SAITM have been dispersed using tear gas and high-pressure water cannons near the flyover in the proximity of the Lotus Roundabout.
The protest walk that began in the morning today (24) was organized as a joint effort by medical students and their parents.
A heavy traffic congestion is said to have been created on account of the protest.
Sources reveal that an assembly of disabled soldiers has also taken part in the protest. The soldiers have reportedly arrived at the vicinity of the Presidential Secretariat Office on foot.
