Junior Doctors to Meet Mamata Banerjee Amid RG Kar Hospital Impasse
Junior doctors protesting at RG Kar hospital have agreed to meet with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to discuss their demands.

Junior doctors, embroiled in the RG Kar hospital protest, have signaled an agreement to meet Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the state secretariat.
Though willing to attend, the medics plan to bring 30 representatives, doubling the state's limit of 15, and demand live streaming of the discussions for transparency. 'We have nothing to hide,' stated a protesting doctor.
This meeting, slated for 5 pm, represents the state's third attempt to break the deadlock over the past two days as previous offers were declined by the workforce demanding justice for a colleague and better security measures for doctors statewide.
