Junior doctors continue protest

Meanwhile, agitating junior doctors in West Bengal continued their fast-unto-death for the third consecutive day on Monday, demanding justice for the rape and murder of the woman medic of the RG Kar hospital and workplace safety even as the state government remained silent to address their issues.

Since Saturday evening, six junior doctors have been on a hunger strike, with a seventh joining them later. Senior members of the Joint Platform of Doctors in West Bengal are considering joining the fast to show their support and solidarity with the junior doctors.

"Our fast-unto-death is on. We have not received any message from the state government. We will continue the protest until all our demands are met. No external pressure will be able to move us from our path of protest seeking justice for our deceased sister... It's now or never," Aniket Mahato, a junior doctor, told PTI.
