Junior doctors on Thursday continued their sit-in outside the West Bengal Health Department’s office as well as their ‘cease work’ over the alleged rape and murder of a young medic at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
The agitating doctors have been demonstrating outside ‘Swathya Bhavan’, the State Health Department headquarters, for over 40 hours. The government had Wednesday rejected their demands for Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee‘s presence and a live broadcast as preconditions for talks to resolve the impasse.
A large number of police personnel have been deployed in and around ‘Swathya Bhavan’ at Salt Lake, and traffic movement was regulated.
