Junior doctors continue their `dharna` against the RG Kar Hospital rape and murder incident/ PTI
Junior doctors protesting the rape and murder at RG Kar Hospital have decided to continue their strike and sit-in, despite recent adjustments by the state government. These included Manoj Kumar Verma's appointment as the new Kolkata Police Commissioner, succeeding Vineet Goyal, and the expulsion of two senior health department officials. The doctors, however, described these steps as just a "partial victory", reported PTI.
According to the report, after a late-night meeting, the junior doctors sought the ouster of Health Secretary NS Nigam, stating that they had been promised action by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee during their previous Monday meeting. They intend to email Chief Secretary Manoj Pant on Wednesday morning to request another meeting with the CM later that day.
