Even as the Supreme Court on Monday urged the protesting junior doctors in Bengal to return to work, the latter decided to continue with cease-work until 5 pm on Tuesday and thereafter take a decision based on the fulfilment of their demands by the state government.
A bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud directed the protesting doctors to return to work by 5 pm on Tuesday and assured them that there will be no adverse action if they resumed duty. The court said the protesting doctors cannot be oblivious to the needs of the general community.
On Monday, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee again urged the agitating junior doctors to resume work. Banerjee said that she was ready to take part in a discussion with the representatives of the junior doctors.
"I would request the junior doctors to return to work. If you think that you have any points to make, you are always welcome. You can come with a 5-10 members delegation, I am ready to talk," Banerjee said during an administrative meeting at Nabanna. She also reminded that the state government has accepted all the demands of the agitating junior doctors. She reiterated the state government's commitment to take all measures for the safety and security of the doctors and said that she believes that things can be resolved through talks in a peaceful manner.
