"The Centre should make a special plan to provide admission to the medical students returning from war-torn Ukraine in MBBS courses in various private and government colleges of the country by relaxing the rules “in the interest of the country and public”, the Rajya Sabha member said in the letter.

The infrastructure of various medical colleges and institutions in Ukraine has already been destroyed in the Russian attack, he said. Singh expressed hope that the Centre will take a decision in this regard and dispel the uncertainty about the future of these students.
