West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday directed agitating doctors to resume work within four hours and threatened to take action if orders are not followed.
The Bengal CM faced protests by junior doctors who shouted “we want justice” when she visited SSKM Hospital in Kolkata on Thursday.
Mamata Banerjee expressed her anger at the stir and gave them a deadline of four hours to join work. “The state spends Rs 25 lakh on each doctor and then they shirk work. This won’t be tolerated. Are they doctors!” she said
Medicare services across West Bengal remained disrupted for the third day on Thursday as junior doctors in government and private hospitals continued their strike demanding fool-proof security after following an assault on them by a mob after the death of a patient here.
