RG Kar Hospital horror: Junior doctors say ‘disheartened’ by SC order to end stir

NEW DELHI: Junior doctors protesting the Aug 9 RG Kar hospital rape-murder intend to continue their agitation at least until 5pm Tuesday, SC's deadline for them to resume work or face possible action, and decide what to do next based on "the ground situation and the state's moves".
Doctors' associations said they were "disheartened" by the SC's stand.
general body meeting of the West Bengal Junior Doctors' Front postponed taking a decision on whether to call off the strike or defy SC's directive.
Doctors' groups said they were watching the emerging situation with a sense of unease.
It is shocking that junior doctors are being portrayed as responsible for deaths. It is totally false as the movement has not hampered hospital services," IMA (West Bengal) said.
