On ninth day of fast by doctors, Bengal government calls meeting

The State government has urged doctors to call off their ‘protest carnival’ coinciding with the immersion carnival. In a jointly signed open letter, prominent citizens asked the junior doctors to end their strike.

With the fast-unto-death of junior doctors entering the ninth day, the support of common people near the protest venue swelled on Sunday October 13 as the Durga Puja festivities in West Bengal culminated with the start of immersion of idols.

Three doctors, who had started the strike eight days ago, have been hospitalised, the last being Anustup Mukherjee, a junior doctor of Medical College, Kolkata, who fell ill late on Saturday October 12 . Aniket Mahato and Alok Verma, two other doctors who were on hunger strike, have been hospitalised after their health deteriorated.
