Work will remain closed until the demands of doctors are met
Agitating junior doctors in Kolkata’s RG Kar hospital case said on Monday after meeting Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee that the strike and protest will continue until their demands are met. The agitating junior doctors said that “the removal of Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goel is our moral victory.” One of the agitating doctors said, “We will strike our work and continue our protest at the Swasthya Bhavan (health department headquarters) until the promises made by the chief minister are fulfilled. We are also waiting for the hearing in the Supreme Court on Tuesday regarding the RG Kar rape-murder case.”
Mamta Banerjee accepted the demands of the doctors
The junior doctors said they will hold a meeting after the hearing on Tuesday and decide on their “stoppage of work” and protest. The doctors were addressing the media at the ‘Swasthya Bhavan’ after returning from Banerjee’s Kalighat residence. A meeting was held between the chief minister and a delegation of doctors at Banerjee’s Kalighat residence.
