A day after women students of the state-run JJ Hospital's Grant Medical College protested against the hospital diktat asking them not to wear 'short skirts', on Monday, some students alleged that they were being threatened by the authorities. A report in this paper said that hospital officials were demanding to know why the issue was 'blown out of proportion'.

To recap, on March 23, at the annual function, Astitva, of Grant Medical College, the women students were instructed not to wear short skirts and to return to the hostel by 10pm. The male students, however, had no restrictions. Following this, many women students held a protest on the hospital premises.
