While rural Assam is wheezing for lack of healthcare infrastructure and shortage of doctors, the state government unexpectedly set a “strict dress code” for the students in the medical colleges.

“We don’t know as to why the university is forcing us so much on dress codes,” a medical student said, adding that there are several problems with teaching infrastructure in almost all the medical colleges of Assam.
