In a new directive, the Mamata government has restricted the junior doctors’ protest, capping the number of attendees to just 15 people and prohibiting live telecasts of the demonstrations. This move has sparked controversy, as the doctors were pushing for reforms in the medical sector, citing overwork and insufficient resources.
Strained Healthcare System
The junior doctors have been vocal about their working conditions, calling for increased staffing and better infrastructure. The government’s restrictions on their protest have raised concerns over the right to peaceful assembly, leading to further tensions between healthcare professionals and the state administration.
Calls for Reform
With limited ability to protest, the doctors are now looking for alternative means to convey their demands. The strained relationship between the medical community and the government has highlighted broader systemic issues in healthcare that need urgent addressing.
