Medical services in Aligarh and the surrounding districts were badly hit in Aligarh on Friday following a strike by junior doctors at the Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, the biggest medical facility of its kind in this region. The strike call was given following an emergency meeting of the Resident Doctors Association (RDA) at the Medical College Hospital, AMU. The junior doctors were protesting over the alleged manhandling and misbehaviour with their colleague on Wednesday. The anger of the students against Medical College doctors stems from the recent death of a University student who was suffering from dengue. Later, a junior doctor and a nursing staff of Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital were suspended by the Aligarh Muslim University Vice Chancellor for their alleged negligence in treatment of the student.
