Bengal Doctors Withdraw Hunger Strike After Meet With Mamata Banerjee
The protesting junior doctors of Bengal have withdrawn their indefinite hunger strike after a meeting with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee this evening. Announcing the end to the "fast-unto-death" in Kolkata, they also called off their proposed strike across hospitals due on Tuesday.
Debashish Halder, one of the junior doctors, said, "In today's meeting (with the CM), we did get the assurance of some directives, but the body language of the state government was not positive".
