KOLKATA: Junior doctors decided on Thursday to end their 42-day cease-work and a nine-day sit-in since Aug 9 over the rape-murder of a colleague at RG Kar hospital in a graded manner, beginning with a return to emergency duty Saturday. They will, however, refrain from joining OPD or inpatient services for now.
The larger protest, however, is not off. The doctors will leave the dharna venue in Salt Lake Friday and march to the nearby CGO complex where the CBI office is located, demanding quick probe and justice for their colleague. After that, they plan to head to their respective campuses, from where they will keep the protest alive by rotation.
The step followed a 10-point response to their demands from Bengal govt Thursday following Wednesday's meeting with the chief secretary and another with CM Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday.
