To fortify the resident doctors striking at KEM hospital in Mumbai, Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors ( MARD) has extended support to them stating that if the demands of the doctors are not fulfilled by tomorrow night 8 p.m, MARD shall go on a statewide strike.
With the assault of three resident doctors working in Mumbai's KEM hospital, the 1200 resident doctors of KEM hospital have been on strike since yesterday demanding justice for their colleagues. Two persons were arrested yesterday in connection with the incident, but they were later granted bail.
The decision of state-wide strike comes after a meeting today between the members of Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors (MARD) and Medical Education Minister Vinod Tawde failed to yield any positive result.
"We want to know why all accused who attacked our colleagues are not in jail? Why police did not book them under the IPC Section 326 (which is non-bailable offence). Why two accused are still absconding?" said Sagar Mundada, MARD President.
