The Federation of Resident Doctors' Association announced the extension of its indefinite strike to protest the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata after their meeting with officials from the Union health ministry failed to bring out any resolution.
Resident doctors of government hospitals across the country went on an indefinite strike on Monday to protest the gruesome incident at the RG Kar Medical College, paralysing elective services including OPDs and non-emergency surgeries.
The stir was in response to a call from the Federation of Resident Doctors' Association (FORDA).
