The will they-won't they surrounding the protesting doctors meeting the West Bengal government continued on Wednesday evening with the protesters responding to a letter by the chief secretary and making a list of demands for the discussion to take place.
The doctors have been protesting since a trainee doctor was raped and murdered at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata on August 9 and Wednesday marked the 33rd day of the agitation. The West Bengal government had invited the doctors for a discussion on Tuesday as well, but they had rejected the invitation because it had come from the health secretary, Narayan Swaroop Nigam, whose resignation they are demanding.
