All-India doctors on massive strike today

Doctors across the nation are on a massive strike today in solidarity with their West Bengal counterparts who have agreed to meet Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on the condition that the meeting is held in the open in the presence of media. The nationwide protest comes amid new allegations that a doctor at the AIIMS in Delhi was abused by the relatives of a patient on Sunday after midnight. The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has called for a 24-hour-long nationwide protest today that will badly hit medical services across the country.
