Bombay HC asks agitating docs to resume work as protest enters fourth day

Mumbai/New Delhi, Mar 23 (IBNS): As talks between agitating junior doctors of Maharashtra and the government failed, the protest is heading for a likely pan-India strike as doctors from the Indian Medical Association and from Delhi expressed their support for the agitating doctors, according to media reports.

Junior doctors of hospitals in Mumbai and some places in Maharashtra continued with their mass leave protest for the fourth day on Thursday despite warnings from the Bombay High Court and the state government.

The Bombay High Court on Thursday has asked the doctors to resume work immediately and settle their issues with the state government amicably.

Earlier during the week too the HC had asked the doctors to resume work and failure to do so would result in contempt of court, HC had warned, according to media reports.

Even as the doctors continue to protest demanding better security in hospitals, the media reported that one more incident of a doctor being attacked occurred at a hospital in Sion late on Wednesday.

Protesting doctors from Sion Hospital and KEM Hospital alleged that they were asked to vacate their hostels and the hospital premises late on Wednesday.
