Say it's insulting to get mail for talks from health secy, whose resignation they seek
-
Agitating junior doctors defied the Supreme Court's directive to join duties by 5 PM on Tuesday, saying they would continue with their 'cease work' till their demands were fulfilled and the rape and murder victim of the RG Kar Hospital was given justice.
The top court on Monday directed the protesting resident doctors to resume work by 5 PM on Tuesday and said no adverse action shall be taken against them on resumption of work.
The court passed the direction after the West Bengal government assured it that no action, including punitive transfers, shall be taken against the protesting doctors on resumption of work.
