Mumbai: Indian Medical Association Maharashtra State Branch, called off its strike in the afternoon after a meeting with the Maharashtra Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis and the Minister of Medical Education, Girish Mahajan.
Fadnavis, who on Thursday appealed resident doctors to call off their strike, had said in the Assembly today that 'enough was enough' and that continuing the strike despite assurances was totally insensitive reports India Today.
"Patients are suffering and people are getting annoyed. Attacks on doctors are wrong, but if despite the written assurances from the government they continue the strike they are being insensitive," he said.
"Enough is enough, we are willing to request them, but if they do not call off their strike, we will take legal action. Why shouldn't we? If they do not agree to the request, the government will not sit back with folded hands," he had added.
