KOLKATA: About 45 senior doctors from RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on Tuesday resigned in a mark of solidarity with junior doctors' protest who have been on a fast-unto-death since October 5 to convince the state government to meet their 10-point demands.
Shortly after the development, a section of senior doctors from other medical colleges, including Calcutta Medical College, SSKM and NRS Medical College said they too could follow suit. They said that if the demands of junior doctors are not fulfilled within 24 hours, they would opt for mass resignation.
Sources said the state government has not, however, accepted the mass resignation. Following Tuesday's development, principals of three medical colleges in the city, including that of RG Kar Medical College, were summoned to Nabanna. Nabanna sources said that discussions took place regarding the ongoing works in the hospitals to enhance security.
There was no information with the state government about the mass resignation, sources claimed.
On resignations, state government sources said that protocol was not followed. There are norms for submitting resignation. Even the state government is within its right not to accept the resignation. A doctor or a government employee should continue his/her duty till the government accepts his/her resignation. After the government accepts the resignation, the individuals who tendered it will not receive any government facilities which are otherwise offered to its employees.
