West Bengal doctors’ strike LIVE UPDATES: IMA launches 3-day nationwide protest, calls for strike on June 17

West Bengal doctors' strike LIVE News UPDATES: In Delhi, resident doctors of AIIMS, Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) and Safdarjung Hospital will be on strike on Friday.

West Bengal doctors’ strike LIVE UPDATES: West Bengal is once again on the boil as resident doctors and medical students mount a massive protest across the state. The agitation entered the fifth day Friday as doctors continued to demand adequate security after their colleagues were attacked and seriously injured following a patient’s death at NRS Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee reiterated that outsiders were involved in the strike by medical bodies in the state.

Meanwhile, the Calcutta High Court refused to pass an interim order on the ongoing strike and has sought details of the steps taken by the Bengal government over the alleged attacks on doctors. It has given the government time till June 21. The doctors on Thursday defied an ultimatum issued by Mamata to resume work after she paid an unannounced visit to SSKM Hospital around noon and spoke to unattended patients. “Whatever happened was unfortunate, but at times relatives of patients get agitated. We have taken action and police have made arrests,” she said.

The protests have now garnered support from doctors in Delhi, Mumbai and Pune who will also join the strikes today. In Delhi, resident doctors of AIIMS, Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) and Safdarjung Hospital will be on strike. Several doctors at AIIMS worked with bandages on their heads and arms as a symbolic protest on Thursday. The Delhi Medical Association has called for a strike too demanding strict action against the accused, while doctors from government hospitals took out a candlelight march at Jantar Mantar yesterday.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Thursday asked doctors at Nil Ratan Sircar (NRS) Medical College in Kolkata to stop their protest and resume work or face action. “I saw people waiting for treatment outside the hospital today, some of them were really critical. This is shameful and I condemn the unlawful protest,” Banerjee, the Health Minister of Bengal said. The doctors are on a “cease-work” agitation after their colleagues were allegedly assaulted by a patient’s family.

Asking the doctor to resume work, Banerjee said, “We have arrested five in connection with the NRS issue, but the doctors are still protesting. Some of them are not junior doctors but outsiders. If they do not withdraw protest and resume regular work within four hours, we’ll review their profiles,” she said.

New Zealand edge ahead on see-saw day

On Day 3 of their second Test versus Bangladesh in Hamilton, when fortunes swung back and forth, New Zealand edged ahead at close of play. The hosts were 38 for 2, still trailing by 173. After cleaning up the visiting side for just 211, the New Zealand camp would have hoped for a steady start. However, the pace duo of Abu Jayed and Ebadat Hossain combined to trouble New Zealand's openers. The pair extracted movement off the pitch with Jayed also generating a hint of swing to beat the bat of both Jeet Raval and Tom Latham on a few occasions. Eventually, Jayed was rewarded for his perseverance as from round the wicket he got one to curve away to dismiss Latham. Raval followed his partner back to the hut by lofting a sucker ball from Jayed to covers. Ross Taylor and Kane Williamson then survived a few anxious moments before a spell of rain forced the umpires to call off the rest of the final session. Among the two mainstays of New Zealand's batting order, Taylor took th
