A clash broke out between the police personnel and members of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences Coordination Committee on Sunday as the latter continued with its protests for a separate AIIMS hospital in Jammu.
The District Magistrate of Jammu had yesterday imposed Section 144 in the region.
Union Health Minister J. P. Nadda had earlier announced that Jammu region will also get "AIIMS-like" facility in the wake of demands by the locals.
The Centre had earlier this year announced that it plans to set up six new AIIMS in six different states in order to cater to the growing demands for more doctors across the country.
