The medicos and doctors are likely to have another round of meeting among themselves to review the situation arising out of their meeting with the Prime Minister.

Meanwhile, sources said that Union Health Secretary PK Hota may meet medicos at the AIIMS, the nervecentre of the anti-quota agitation.

The students, after a meeting with Union Minister Oscar Fernandes on Thursday night, had said they were not totally against reservation but wanted it for economically-backward sections of the society and not on caste basis.

The meeting at the Prime Minister's residence on Friday was attended also by AIIMS Director P Venugopal, Health Secretary Hota, Principal Advisor to Prime Minister TKA Nair and representatives of agitating doctors and students.
