Greetings friends of Steemit and Steem Fashion&Style
The junior doctors have been on a hunger strike for two weeks now six doctors have been hospitalized due to deteriorating Health while eight others continue their indefinite fast. The junior doctors demanding intensive investigation of rape and murder case of 31-year-old trainee doctor in the state as well as thorough reformation of Health care system and administration.
I visited the Hunger Strike stage yesterday. I was sad to see Sayantani Ghosh Hazra, a protesting doctor and continued her fasting depending on plain water only since 2nd October said that she is running out of words to ask why the Chief Minister didn’t meet them despite several requests. She is physically so week could not even walk.
I can recall such incident happened during Indian Freedom Movement when Revolutionary Jatindra Nath Das (27 October 1904 – 13 September 1929) died in Lahore Central Jail after 62 days of hunger strike. Wikipedia
Chief Minister Mamata Bannerjee's invitation comes after the doctors threatened to intensify their protest by launching a Statewide medical strike on October 22nd. In a phone call to protesting doctor she reassured the doctors that a majority of their demands had been accepted but rejected doctors calls to remove the State Health secretary. The chief minister reminded the doctors of their duty to the public as well. Mamata highlighted that her government has already taken some steps to address their concerns which includes allotting 100 Crore (1.4 billion USD) for improving Health infrastructure in the state and establishment of 43 multi speciality hospitals.
Before I conclude I would like to invite three fellow Steemians to participate in the contest
