KATHMANDU: Dr Govinda KC supporters on Saturday organised a protest outside the Prime Minister's residence in Baluwatar, demanding that the government immediately implement the agreement signed with the veteran orthopaedic surgeon of the Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital. Dr KC himself had also joined the protests attended by hundreds of youth including artists, students, activists, writers, journalists and members of the public. Demanding reforms in Nepal's medical education sector, Dr KC had launched a fast-unto-death last month. He had broken the 16-day fast on July 25 after signing a four-point agreement. The government, however, has not implemented the agreement yet.
