Ranchi: At least 14 patients died in the last 36 hours in the Rajendra Institute of Medical Science (RIMS) in Jharkhand as nurses and junior doctors of the institute were on a strike against an assault on one of its staff.
Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das on Sunday took cognisance of the RIMS incident and asked Chief Secretary Sudhir Tripathy and Health Minister Ramchandra Chndrabansi to hold talks with the nurses and junior doctors.
The trouble began when a patient Geeta Devi died after a nurse gave her an injection. Following her death, the nurse was thrashed by Devi's attendants on Friday night.
The chief minister said that everyone had the right to protest but chaos would not be tolerated in the RIMS.
On Sunday afternoon Chndrabansi and Tripathy reached RIMS for dialogue, following which the strike was called off.
