A way out: On the government and doctor-led protests in West Bengal

The Hindu  

After five attempts, the Mamata Banerjee government finally managed to hold talks with protesting junior doctors on September 16, 2024. Though senior doctors, nurses and attendants have pitched in with extra hours to help government hospitals, the strain is showing, and there is a clamour for junior doctors to call off the strike. There is an acute trust deficit between the two sides, and the whiff of a cover-up in the way the rape and murder investigation was handled in the initial stages till the CBI took over, particularly by the hospital administration and also by the government, further alienated the doctors. To that end, the State government has told the doctors, and also informed the top court, that it is setting aside ₹100 crore to improve hospital infrastructure, and will form a task force headed by the Chief Secretary with representatives of doctors to sort out issues.
