Kolkata doctors to partially lift ‘cease work’ from Saturday

AGITATING junior doctors announced that they will “partially” lift their ‘cease work’ and partially rejoin their duties at emergency and essential services in state-run hospitals from Saturday as the West Bengal government has accepted most of their demands.

The medics, who have been on ‘cease work’ for the last 41 days following the rape and murder of a woman doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, announced that they would lift their sit-in outside Swasthya Bhawan on Friday.
