Doctors Strike Enters Second Week: Elective Services Moved Outside Nirman Bhawan

Doctors protesting the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata continue their strike into its second week. Elective outpatient services will be provided outside Nirman Bhawan, while emergency services remain unaffected. The medical community demands the Central Protection Act for medics and will continue the strike until their demands are met.

As the doctors' strike over the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata enters its second week, elective outpatient services will be provided outside Nirman Bhawan on Monday.

Resident doctors from various specialties, including medicine, surgery, obstetrics, and paediatrics, are participating in the strike, though emergency services at hospitals will continue unaffected.

The strike has caused significant difficulties for patients in the national capital, and doctors demand the enactment of the Central Protection Act for medics, refusing to end the protest until their demands are met.
