Following dharna by a section of undergraduate students of Government Siddha Medical College on the college premises in Palayamkottai on Monday demanding immediate opening of the men’s hostel, the college administration declared indefinite closure of the college.

The dilapidated 4-storey men’s hostel on Saalai Street in Vannarpet was razed down in September 2018. When the students were about to be shifted to an unused government building, they refused to accept the offer. Demanding opening of a hostel near the college, they started sit-in on its premises.
