PATNA — Over 1,000 junior doctors in Bihar, agitating for the past 11 days demanding increased stipend as promised by the state government, today called off their stir.
The doctors at Patna Medical College Hospital (PMCH) and Darbhanga Medical College Hospital (DMCH) took the decision after meeting the members of Bihar state Health Service Association (BSHSA) and Indian Medical Association.
“We have decided to withdraw our strike today… all of us will resume work from midnight tonight,” PMCH junior doctors association president D Kumar told reporters.
Over 100 patients have died during the strike period.
The decision to call of the strike comes a day after the Bihar Human Rights commission asked the state government to lodge an FIR and begin legal action against the striking doctors.

Though this strike has been backed out but the legal action against these doctors needs to be taken. The strike called by them did not harm anybody in the governemnt instead many innocent people died.
well this tradition has started in Bihar that governemt servants call for a strike whenver they want. Its true that government has failed considerably in providing the arrears and pay hike.
However community like doctors and teachers holds some social responsibilities. Therefore they should be dealt harshly if they fail to do so.
