Kolkata doctors to continue cease-work, seek another meeting with CM Banerjee
Kolkata: The protesting Junior doctors in West Benagal said they will continue their strike till all their demands are met, they also sought fresh talks with the state government. The doctors announced their decision following a five-hour governing body meeting.
The state also removed two senior health department officials, acceding to the medics’ demands.
According to the PTI report, the doctors made the announcement following the conclusion of their governing body meeting, which had started around 6.30 pm and ended at around 1 AM early Wednesday.
"Till all our demands are met with, the agitation and cease work will continue. We want fresh talks with the state government," a doctor said at a press conference.
The state government appointed Verma as the new city police commissioner a day after Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee held a meeting with the agitating junior doctors to resolve the more than a month-long impasse over the RG Kar hospital incident.
Director of Health Services (DHS) Debashis Halder, Director of Medical Education (DME) Kaustav Nayak, and Deputy Commissioner of Kolkata Police's North Division Abhishek Gupta were also removed as promised by Banerjee during the meeting.
Swapan Soren was appointed the interim DHS, while no appointment was announced for the position of the DME, news agency PTI reported.
Banerjee, following a long discussion with the doctors Monday night, had announced the decision to remove Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal, who had been under fire over handling of the rape and murder of a woman doctor at the RG Kar hospital.
Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that after four failed bids to sit for an open discussion regarding the five-point charter demand, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee held a two-hour meeting with 42 delegations of the West Bengal Junior Doctors Front, during which the Chief Minister agreed to the bulk of the demands put forward by the doctors.
