The physicians say their demands for hospital safety improvements have not been met following the murder of a 31-year-old female doctor in Kolkata.
Indian doctors in the West Bengal city of Kolkata have resumed a strike to protest against the rape and murder of a female colleague.
The doctors restarted their action on Tuesday and said their demands for hospital safety improvements had not been met.
Doctors from the West Bengal Junior Doctors’ Front, which represents about 7,000 physicians in the state, reinstated partial services last month, citing the flood situation in parts of the state.
“Unless we receive clear action from the government on safety, patient services, and the politics of fear, we will have no choice but to continue our full strike,” the group said in a statement.
