Over 150 doctors go on strike in Mumbai

Mumbai: Over 150 resident doctors at the Lokmanya Tilak Municipal General Hospital have gone on a strike to protest manhandling by relatives of some patients, said hospital sources.

"Doctors have been on strike since 3 am after some patients' relatives got into a fight with them," he said.

A meeting is likely to be held later, between the doctors and the management of the hospital in south-central Mumbai.

"The decision on whether to resume work or to continue the strike will be taken during the meeting," the source said.
