Agitating Junior doctors on Monday called off hunger strike protest after 17 Days over the RG Kar rape-murder case, just hours after meeting with West Bengal’s chief minister. The medics also called off their planned strike in the state’s hospitals on Tuesday.
Speaking to news agency PTI, Debashish Halder, one of the junior medics said, “In today’s meeting (with the CM), we were assured of some directives, but the state government’s body language was not positive… The general public has been extremely supportive of us.

“We are therefore withdrawing our ‘fast-unto-death’ and also Tuesday’s total shutdown in the health sector,” he added.
