West Bengal: Protesting doctors defy Mamata’s ultimatum, to continue strike till demands are met
Op IndiaBe it political or non-political violence, West Bengal has been tyrannized over the past few weeks. Junior doctors who have been agitating since Tuesday after two of their colleagues were attacked and seriously injured at the NRS Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata have decided to elude the Chief Minister’ ultimatum and continue their strike until their demands are met. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today displayed her insensitivity, when she ordered the doctors to resume work within 4 hours or face action. RDA Convener Dr G Srinivas has demanded stringent action against the culprits while doctors at AIIMS, Delhi have also backed the junior doctors’ strike in West Bengal. He listened to us and hopefully will speak to the chief minister,” one of the junior doctors told reporters outside the Raj Bhavan after meeting him.
