Maharashtra resident doctors to tie rakhis to cops; firm on continuing indefinite strike
MUMBAI: The indefinite strike by resident doctors in Maharashtra over the Kolkata rape-murder incident will continue, with their association on Sunday demanding that all government-run medical colleges and hospitals be declared safe zones and Central Healthcare Protection Act implemented.
The Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors (MARD), leading the strike since August 13, said medicos would tie Rakhis to government officials, college administrators, police, security personnel, nurses, and healthcare workers on Monday as part of the ongoing protest.
Resident doctors have been on strike since Tuesday to express solidarity with their counterparts from other cities demonstrating against the rape and murder of a junior trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata dated August 9
