The doctors had rejoined duties partially from September 21 after a 42-day cease-work in protest over the Kolkata rape and murder case.
Junior doctors in West Bengal, demanding better security at state hospitals after the rape and murder of a colleague at a medical college in Kolkata, have resumed their 'total cease-work'. The suspension of work begins at 10 am this morning as the doctors alleged there was no "positive approach" from the government to fulfil their demands for safety at work.
The doctors had rejoined duties partially from September 21 amid a flood situation in the state, ending their 42-day cease-work in protest over the rape and murder incident at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
The cease-work follows another incident of attack on a medic with the doctors at the state-run Sagore Dutta Medical College and Hospital claiming they were beaten up by the relatives of a patient, who had died during treatment.
