This private doctor has proved to be a saviour amid the strike by his peers.

Patients having no clue about the strike from rural areas are being provided treatment at the house of Dr Shivaram Dani at Gajendragad in Gadag district.

Dr Dani has been treating patients at his house on the bus stand road in the town. Dani had, in the past, served as a government doctor at Hanchinala.
