Resident doctors of JJ Hospitals call off strike in Mumbai

In Mumbai, resident doctors of the state-run JJ Hospital have called off their strike after the state government assured them of fulfilling their demands. The doctors were on a strike since May 19 after two of their colleagues were allegedly assaulted by the relatives of a patient following her death while undergoing treatment. The striking doctors demanded



sufficient security in the hospital to protect them against any outrage by patients' relatives.

Maharashtra Medical Education Minister Girish Mahajan met with the dean of JJ hospital and the officers of the Directorate of Medical Education and Research. He also met a delegation of the protesting doctors.
