\"Kolkata<\/div>\n
Junior doctors<\/a> in West Bengal’s Kolkata have announced a partial withdrawal to their agitation on Thursday. <\/p>\n

Protesting doctors will resume work in the emergency services<\/a> departments of their respective hospitals starting Saturday, after weeks of protests against the TMC-led West Bengal government.<\/p>\n

“We will rejoin emergency, essential services partially at state-run hospitals in Bengal from Saturday,” said Aniket Mahato, a protesting doctor.<\/p>\n

According to Mahato, doctors will resume work based on an SOP (standard operating procedure) that they create. This will include medical cases that fall under the category of ’emergency services’.<\/p>\n

This, however, doesn’t put an end to their protests and the movement against the rape and murder of a 31-year-old junior doctor in Kolkata’s RG Kar college and hospital last month.<\/p>\n


While emergency services will resume, OPD services will remain suspended, as part of the prolonged protests. Doctors will prepare are plan of action to continue the ‘justice for Abhaya movement<\/a>‘. “Our fight for justice has not ended,” Mahato asserted. <\/p>\n

Amidst floods that have affected parts of West Bengal, doctors have decided to provide medical relief to the people impacted by the natural disaster. <\/p>\n

Further, junior doctors will also withdraw their sit-in outside Swasthya Bhawan on Friday, but the movement will continue across medical colleges in West Bengal. <\/p>\n

These developments come just days after doctors met with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, after two failed attempts at talks between the government and resident doctors in the state.<\/p>\n

Junior doctors have been protesting for over a month now, in a movement that expanded across India.<\/p>\n

The RG Kar case is being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation with the Supreme Court hearing a suo-moto case related to the incident that shocked India.<\/p>\n

CBI so far has arrested the former principal of RG Kar college Sandip Ghosh and the officer in-charge of Tala Police station, with both being taken into custody on charges of trying to hide the horrific crime.
