Condemning the violence in West Bengal, the AIIMS Resident Doctors' Association (RDA) has also urged the RDAs across the country to join the token strike. In a statement issued on Thursday, the AIIMS RDA said the ongoing and worsening of violence against medical doctors in West Bengal is worrisome and disheartening. They urged the West Bengal chief minister to intervene in the matter and address the security concerns so that residents can continue serving patients. It is worth noting that the appeal does not mention junior doctors and only addresses senior doctors. He listened to us and hopefully will speak to the chief minister," one of the junior doctors told reporters outside the Raj Bhavan after meeting Tripathi.
