Kolkata RG Kar case: Govt invites a team of protesting doctors for talks
Responding to their email, Chief Secretary Manoj Pant has invited a delegation of 12-15 doctors to state secretariat Nabanna.
“The representative team of junior doctors should have 30 members and be streamed live for transparency,” a junior woman doctor said, adding, “We are hurt that the administration has failed to respect the sentiments of the female doctors who have been at the forefront of the movement and refused to address their security concerns.” She was mentioning yesterday's invitation by the state Health Secretary for a meeting last evening.”
“It is important to take a serious note that the common people have been deprived of your vital services, compassionate care and the healing touch over the past 32 days. Keeping this aspect in view, the Hon'ble Supreme Court, in its order dated 9th September 2024, directed that junior doctors must resume duties by 5 p.m. on 10th September 2024. You will, no doubt, appreciate and agree that as a law-abiding citizen, it is everyone's bounden duty to adhere to these directions. Unfortunately, it has not been adhered to so far,” the Chief Secretary wrote in his letter to the agitating junior doctors.
The junior doctors are holding a General body meeting to take the decision, if they will participate in the meeting. “There are at least 25 Medical colleges in the state. We need to have at least 30 representatives in the meeting. We have mentioned it in our email. Let us see what decision is taken in the meeting,” a junior doctor said.
