Doctors' Strike  

In Bengal, the undoing of the 34-year-long left regime started when police crushed a popular uprising in Singur by using firepower. The villagers were protesting forcible land acquisition by the state for a car manufacturing unit

Doctors across India have decided to steer clear of hospitals on June 17 as a mark of protest. Doctors in Belagavi formed a human chain, while Bengaluru doctors raised slogans at Victoria Hospital and KIMS Hospital to show solidarity to their colleague, who was assaulted in Kolkata.

Karnataka chief minister Kumaraswamy has condemned the attack on doctors and the state health minister Shivanand Patil too has written to the protesting doctors to protest in a symbolic manner
 

Currently, junior doctors said that they will speak to West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee only in the presence of media. On Saturday, agitating junior doctors had turned down chief minister Mamata Banerjee's appeal to end their stir.

"There is a complete breakdown of law and order, with reports of mobs attacking doctor hostels with weapons. The government has failed to provide protection and justice to doctors," the AIIMS Resident Doctors' Association (RDA) said
