Akhilesh Yadav promises to release doctors
- 5 years ago
With healthcare services badly affected across Uttar Pradesh for the fifth consecutive day on Tuesday, Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav met a team of doctors protesting the arrest of 24 junior physicians following a scuffle with a Samajwadi Party leader.
The agitation gathered steam in Agra, Varanasi, Lucknow, Gorakhpur and other places. All out patient department (OPDs) services were suspended, but emergency services continued, even as the number of deaths due to lack of treatment rose to 37.
The doctors are on strike since Feb 28. A protest march was also brought out in Agra on Tuesday. The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has threatened an all-India strike from Wednesday.
