Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee is expected to visit private hospital Saturday afternoon to see a young doctor who is recuperating after an attack at the NRS hospital which sparked a widespread strike by junior doctors which began on Tuesday. The doctor, Paribaha Mukherjee, who was attacked by relatives of a patient who died Monday evening at the NRS hospital, had suffered head injuries. The junior doctors issued a statement after a general body meeting early afternoon saying they will not attend the meeting with the chief minister at the state secretariat at 5 pm. The general body meeting was held after a meeting with the president of the IMA at NRS Medical College and Hospital on Saturday morning. The doctors have sought unconditional apology from Banerjee and set six conditions for the state government to withdraw the stir.
