Bengal medics in no mood to end strike, want CM to sack Kolkata top cop by 5 pm

Date:

Adopting an aggressive approach, the agitating junior doctors in West Bengal have served an ultimatum to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to accept their demands, including the sacking of Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal, by 5 pm on Tuesday or else they would not end their agitation by evening, despite a Supreme Court direction.

The ultimatum follows a day after the Apex Court told the agitating doctors to resume work by 5 pm on Tuesday as patients were suffering due to their absence from Outdoor Patient Departments.

“Let the government first concede our demands by 5 pm on Tuesday then we will consider our cease work or else we will hold the government responsible for the current state of affairs in hospitals,” said the medics in a joint media conference after a meeting late on Monday night.

The medics in a general body meeting adopted five resolutions, including identifying the culprits in the lady medic rape

and murder and giving them exemplary punishment and resignation of Kolkata Police chief.

Their other demands include resignation of health department’s principal secretary Narayan Swaroop Nigam and his two deputies and providing safe environment in the government hospitals.

The medics also slammed the chief minister’s appeal to join in the festivities and ensuing puja.
