New Delhi, December 27

A protest by a large number of resident doctors in Delhi over delay in NEET-PG 2021 counselling on Monday took a dramatic turn, as medics and police personnel had a face-off, with both sides claiming several persons got injured in the melee.

The Federation of Resident Doctors’ Association (FORDA) said several of its members were “detained” when they tried to hold a protest march from Maulana Azad Medical College to the Supreme Court.

FORDA president Manish claimed that resident doctors of a large number of major hospitals on Monday “returned their apron (lab coat) in a symbolic gesture of rejection of services”.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
