DMC Registrar Resigns After Govt Threatens Dissolution of Council
Kolkata: Forty doctors from the state-run SSKM Hospital in Kolkata resigned en masse to show solidarity with their colleagues on a hunger strike since October 5, advocating for their demands. This move follows a recent wave of symbolic resignations by senior doctors from various hospitals.
Nine junior doctors - seven in Kolkata and two in North Bengal – are on fast unto death.
According to the PTI report, SSKM Hospital Dr Gautam Das said, "We are deeply concerned for the health of the protesting doctors."

He highlighted the lack of progress in resolving the impasse despite the doctors' unwavering commitment to their demands.
The doctors' decision to resign is out of frustration with the state government's perceived indifference to their legitimate concerns, he said.
Senior doctors have also joined the demonstration at the protest site on Thursday.
