IGMC resident docs end strike
Tribune News Service
Shimla, December 31
The resident doctors of the Indira Gandhi Medical College (IGMC) and Hospital withdrew their strike this afternoon and resumed their duties. They had gone on strike yesterday afternoon in protest against the “manhandling of peacefully protesting doctors by the Delhi Police”.
“Following a message from the Federation of Resident Doctors Association, we decided to take back our strike and resumed duties at 3 pm today,” said Dr Manoj Maitan, president of the IGMC Residents Doctors Association. As several doctors are on winter vacation, the resident doctors’ strike would have paralysed the functioning of the hospital. Many surgeries were cancelled yesterday after the resident doctors went on strike.
