NEET-PG 2021 counselling: Protesting doctors 'return' flowers, 'taali-thaali'
In a novel way to register their protest over the delay in NEET-PG 2021 counselling, several resident doctors in Delhi on Tuesday threw flowers on security barricades, and clanged utensils and clapped in front of the Nirman Bhawan here, saying they were symbolically "returning" the adulation showered on them for being Covid warriors.
As the stir led by the Federation of Resident Doctors' Association (FORDA), resumed after a week-long hiatus, entered into its fifth day in Tuesday, patient care remained affected at three Centre-run facilities -- Safdarjung, RML and Lady Hardinge hospitals -- and some of the Delhi government-run hospitals.
Meanwhile, the IMA's Junior Doctors Network has written to Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya demanding fast-tracking of the court hearing to expedite NEET-PG 2021 counselling, while extending solidarity with resident doctors protesting outside Nirman Bhawan, which houses the health ministry office, for the second consecutive day.
