Bengal Doctors End Hunger Strike After Meeting with Mamata Banerjee

The decision to halt the protest came after a meeting with the Chief Minister and requests from the public and the victim's family.

The junior doctors' hunger strike lasted 16 days, sparked by the rape and murder of a colleague at RG Kar Medical College.
Despite ending the hunger strike, the doctors plan to continue their protest efforts for systemic healthcare reforms.
The meeting with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was live-streamed, addressing issues like workplace safety and the alleged 'threat culture' in hospitals.
Doctors demand the removal of Health Secretary N S Nigam, improved security measures, and better infrastructure in medical facilities.
The strike had significant public support, and the doctors' health deteriorated during the protest, prompting calls to end the fast.
