Kolkata's Junior Doctors Vs Cops Over Leaflet Distribution At Pandals

Doctors' protest: The protesters have been called to the state secretariat tonight for another round of discussion.

Kolkata's protesting doctors' plan to distribute leaflets at pandals during the ongoing Durga Puja was vetoed by the police over concerns about crowd management. The police contend that the sensitive issue could upset people and lead to a law and order issue in the festive season. 

The doctors, a section of whom are on a hunger strike, wanted to reach out to the people and spread awareness about their demands from the state government. The protesters have been called to the state secretariat tonight for another round of discussion.

The escalation in doctors' prote3st comes days after Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee met them and accepted most of their demands.
