Mumbai: Seeking justice for the woman doctor who is said to have ended her life in Phaltan, Satara, the Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors (MARD) has announced to go on an indefinite statewide “peaceful” agitation from November 3. The medicos have warned to suspend all non-emergency duties, while continuing emergency and ICU services, until the government takes “concrete action”.

On November 4, doctors across Mumbai have planned a rally. The fraternity vowed to escalate protests if justice is delayed. The protest for “long-overdue systemic reforms” has been planned in phases, with the doctors wearing black ribbons on duty from October 29. The next day, hospitals will display awareness banners, while doctors will stick black tape on their mouths to represent silenced voices.
