Supreme Court Orders West Bengal Doctors to Resume Work by 5 PM on September 10, No Adverse Action
Sep 9, 2024, 11:41 AM
The Supreme Court of India has intervened in the ongoing protest by resident doctors in West Bengal's public medical institutions. The court has directed the protesting doctors to resume work by 5 PM on September 10, assuring them that no adverse action, including punitive transfers, will be taken against them if they comply. The Chief Justice of India emphasized that while protests are valid, they should not come at the cost of duty, as people's lives are at stake. The protests were triggered by the R G Kar tragedy, and lakhs of people are being denied essential medical care due to the doctors' abstention. The West Bengal government has assured the Supreme Court of its commitment to this directive.
