Scores of resident doctors in Delhi on Saturday also lit ‘diyas’ to register their protest here, even as patient care remained affected at various facilities in the city.
The Federation of Resident Doctors’ Association (FORDA) has been spearheading the protest for the last several days.
In a statement issued on Saturday, it said that a virtual meeting was convened by FORDA in the evening with representatives of resident doctors associations from various states to discuss the future course of agitation. ”Since no concrete measure has been taken by authorities yet in the concerned matter, it was unanimously decided to continue the agitation. During the meeting it was also discussed that protesting resident doctors across the nation will be forced to go forward with mass resignation from services, if the demand is not met at the earliest,” it said.
