4,000 resident doctors strike may soon become a strike of 40,000 doctors in the state of Maharashtra as well as across various parts of the country. The main demand of doctors only states having increased protection and limiting the number of attendants per patient at the hospitals
Mumbai: After the high court observations yesterday, reprimanding the resident doctors of the state for going on a mass leave, the state government today began issuing ultimatum to the 4,000 resident doctors, telling them to resume their duties immediately, or else strict action shall be following suit. The BMC is reported to have issued a show cause notice to more than 1000 resident doctors working in Mumbai, who have been on strike since the past three days. One by one, many government medical colleges were also seen serving suspension notices to students/resident doctors

The doctors of Maharashtra are collectively opposing the growing instances of violence against government doctors and the lackadaisical approach of the state government in handling the grave issue.
Girish Mahajan, the state's minister for medical education today said, "Those doctors who don't return to work by 8 pm today will stand to lose 6 months' salary". Regarding the demand for more security, the minister said, "We will give them 1,100 guards... We have got financial clearances."
