Boycott of work in protest against delay in PG NEET counselling enters fifth day
Hundreds of resident doctors, who have been boycotting work, performed a “tali and thaali waapsi” and “phool waapsi” outside the Health Ministry (Nirman Bhawan) in Delhi on Tuesday by beating plates and showering flowers on a white coat on which “Dear Union Health Ministry Govt. of India” was written.
“The Prime Minister had asked people to beat thaali for the frontline workers and the Government had also showered flowers on us. But it’s now meaningless as we have been on the road for the last 15 days. So, there is no point in such pseudo appreciation and we are giving it back,” said Dr. Kulsaurabh, general secretary, Federation of Resident Doctors’ Association (FORDA).
The event will run daily from 10 a.m. to 8.30 p.m., offering a variety of activities. Visitors can enjoy dance and music performances, hands-on art experiences, film screenings, and exhibitions from 10.30 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. These will feature folk cuisines, leather puppets, philately, textiles, and handicrafts.
