The incident, reportedly linked to the ill health of the SSP's mother, triggered a strong backlash from the medical community, leading to a temporary shutdown of OPD services on Thursday.
Doctors from various hospitals in the city such as AIIMS, Lady Hardinge Medical College, Maulana Azad Medical College along with various privately practicing doctors participated in the protest.
The 24-hour OPD closure began at 6 am on Saturday and will continue until 6 am on Sunday. The shutdown disrupted general check-ups and routine consultations, although emergency and casualty services were maintained.
Junior Doctors and Post-Graduate Students of various medical colleges in Madhya Pradesh took out candle-light marches in protest against the rape and murder of a woman doctor at the R G Kar Medical College at Kolkata.
