KOLKATA: West Bengal’s agitating junior doctors are likely to call off their “total cease work” on Friday and resume normal duties soon after, while continuing their demonstrations demanding justice for their murdered colleague at RG Kar hospital and improved safety measures in medical facilities.After holding a governing body meeting throughout Thursday night, the junior medics decided to hold a rally on Friday afternoon, during which they are likely to announce their decision to withdraw the “total cease work,” a source said.However, they plan to set a deadline for the state government to implement their demands, after which they will launch a “indefinite fast” until their promises are fulfilled, he added.”The governing body meeting concluded this morning. We have decided to suspend the total cease work for now, but our demonstrations will continue. We are mindful of the large number of patients relying on state-run hospitals every day,” one of the agitating doctors told PTI.Their senior counterparts had urged them to suspend the ‘cease work’ in light of the hardships faced by ordinary patients.
