Medical faculty members at MGM Medical College and Government Dental College in Indore have declared a phased protest over ongoing unresolved demands, with routine operations set to pause on October 29 and 30. The Medical Teachers Association (MTA) announced the action would commence on October 22, while emergency services would remain operational.
MTA President Dr. Rahul Rokade claimed that multiple representations had been made to the Deputy Chief Minister, Commissioner-Cum-Chairperson of the autonomous body, MGM Medical College Dean, and Government Dental College Principal over the past six months. The MTA claims the protest was initiated after these demands were left unaddressed despite repeated efforts.
The group had previously announced a statewide strike on April 21, 2026, over a 12-point charter of demands; however, this was suspended following a discussion with the additional chief secretary. The MTA remains open to dialogue and has requested a meeting with the Commissioner-Cum-Chairperson to resolve the issues. The association has also expressed concern about the actions of seven to eight MGM Medical College teachers who publicly distanced themselves from the upcoming protest, alleging they were pressured and had lost the association elections held on September 12.
