Speaking on the issue, DMA President Alok Bhandari, said, “Today we had an emergency meeting… Everyone was angry and very pained by what happened to one of our sisters and daughters in Kolkata. The Delhi Medical Association has called for a nationwide strike against this incident. If the government still does not wake up and does not find a permanent solution to these problems, then people associated with the medical profession will have to come on the streets. With this demand, we have called for a strike for 24 hours from Saturday to Sunday… After all, this is a public issue… There cannot be a more shameful thing for this country than this.”
