Resident doctors threaten for mass resignation, returning apron before SC

The agitating doctors on Sunday threatened for the mass resignation if government doesn’t expedite the matter on NEET PG listed in the Supreme Court. The resident doctors are protesting against the repeated delay in the  NEET-PG counselling 2021 from last 10 days, boycotting all the medical services including emergency service across hospitals in Delhi.

The Federation Of Resident Doctors Association of India (FORDA) said that they were forced to consider this step because the Union Health Ministry has not taken any concrete steps to expedite NEET-PG counselling. Earlier today, the doctors held a candle march to register protest against delay in PG Counseling at Safdarjung Hospital. In a massive show of solidarity, resident doctors also lit ‘diyas’ to register their protest.  

Threatening for mass resignations, the doctors said that they have been forced to take this decision as no concrete measures are being taken by the health ministry. The doctors will also held a march before the supreme court tomorrow to register protest against delayed NEET PG counseling. A source said that resident doctors are also planning to surrender their apron and lab coat before the apex court symbolically to register their protest.
