Protesting Bengal Doctors At Secretariat For Meeting With Officials

The protesting junior doctors of Kolkata, who are continuing their ceasework even after a chunk of their demands have been met, have reached the state secretariat for another round of meeting about their remaining demands.

The doctors, who have been on ceasework for the last 40 days, wrote to the state government today, seeking more discussions on their unmet demands. They were asked to come for a meeting in the evening.

Their big unmet demand is the removal of the health secretary, but there has been no decision on it yet, they contend. During their meeting with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday, she gave them a "verbal assurance, but we have not seen any step in the direction so far," they have said.
