Kolkata: After meeting with several associations of senior doctors at Calcutta Medical College on Friday evening, Debashish Haldar, a protesting doctor said that if their 10 demands are not met by Monday then from Tuesday they will ‘completely cease work’ both in government and private hospitals.

Seven doctors on hunger strike in Kolkata for 13 days, demanding justice and improved healthcare services in State-run hospitals.

Six were subsisting only on water and were admitted into the hospital after a multiday fast to demand justice for the brutal rape and killing of a medical resident.

Junior doctor Aniket Mahato, who was hospitalised after his health worsened from sitting on a hunger strike in Kolkata, was released from the hospital today, October 17. Mahato was part of the indefinite hunger strike calling for justice for the RG Kar hospital rape-and-murder victim.
