Junior Doctors in West Bengal: A Fight for Justice and Safety

Junior doctors in West Bengal are set to call off their strike while continuing protests for justice over a murdered colleague and improved safety measures. They intend to resume work but maintain pressure on the state to fulfill their demands, potentially resorting to an 'indefinite fast' if unmet.

West Bengal's junior doctors, in a quest for justice and heightened security measures, are poised to conclude their total strike on Friday. This conclusion follows intense deliberations over the proposed withdrawal of their 'total cease work' strategy, as informed by insider sources.

The healthcare advocates condemn the state's handling of doctor safety, vowing to rally on Friday. An ultimatum will be issued to government authorities, stressing an imperative for improvement by a defined deadline, beyond which an 'indefinite fast' will commence if their stipulations are not addressed.

Despite pressure from their seniors due to patient care concerns, the agitation effort remains steadfast. Previously affected by severe misuse and attacks, the medics had already engaged in a prolonged strike post an incident at a state-run facility, striving for essential protections and honoring their slain peer.
