CM's rebuke works, IMA calls off doctors' strike in Maharashtra

March 24, 2017 17:00

The IMA has called off the doctors' strike in Maharashtra after a meeting with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. The resident doctors' body is now meeting to take a final decision on the strike.

CM Fadnavis met IMA representatives at Vidhan Bhavan in Mumbai where they were briefed about the steps the government has taken to ensure the safety of doctors in hospitals.

Fadnavis told IMA representatives that more security has been provided in 16 hospitals since Thursday, and the government will make more arrangements in next 10 days.

Fadnavis, who on Thursday appealed resident doctors to call off their strike, had said in the Assembly today that 'enough was enough' and that continuing the strike despite assurances was totally insensitive.
