Kolkata, Sep 13: A day after their proposed talks with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee failed to materialise, the West Bengal government’s junior doctors continued their demonstration in front of Swastha Bhaban at New Town for the 4th day on Friday.
Outdoor Patient Departments (OPDs) in government hospitals remained paralysed on Friday due to doctors’ protests, continuing for the past 36th day.
The agitators have also rejected the Supreme Court’s direction to end their stir in view of the sufferings of patients.
Notably, the medics are demanding the resignation of three top health department officials. The doctors held the officials responsible for signing a letter allowing demolition and renovation in the vicinity of the crime scene at RG Kar Hospital seminar room where a 31-year-old woman doctor was raped and murdered on August 9.
On Thursday evening, about 32 junior doctors returned from the gate of Nabanna, the state secretariat, after the government did not concede their demand for live streaming of the talks between them and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
