Doctors, junior doctors and medical students in Telangana staged protests against the National Medical Commission (NMC) bill Thursday.
The junior doctors in Hyderabad, who have been agitating against the bill, held a sit-in at Dharna Chowk here.
The doctors, mainly private practitioners, boycotted work and protested at several places in the state as per a call given by the Indian Medical Association, medical sources said.
The protesters took out demonstrations at some places, they said.
Telangana Jana Samiti (TJS) president M Kodandaram, popular Telugu film hero Rajasekhar, who is a medical doctor, addressed the protesters at Dharna Chowk.
Opposing various provisions of the bill, the junior doctors have been on the warpath for several days now, boycotting emergency services.
