Kolkata: Junior doctors rejoined their duties partially on Saturday at various government-run hospitals in West Bengal after a hiatus of 42 days. They were on 'cease work' in protest against the rape-murder of an on-duty woman doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

Kolkata/IBNS: West Bengal junior doctors, who were on ceasework since August 9 when the rape and murder of a trainee doctor was discovered at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, resumed services partially on Saturday.

The decision to partially end the cease work came on Thursday evening marking a major breakthrough in the 41-day impasse

Some of the doctors have also left for flood-affected districts to set up 'Abhaya clinics' (medical camps), demonstrating their commitment to public health despite ongoing protests.

The medics rejoined their duties in essential and emergency services at all state-run hospitals but not in the outpatient department

Junior doctors at RG Kar Hospital ended their 42-day strike, resuming essential services after a march to the CBI. Thousands joined a rally demanding justice for their murdered colleague, emphasizing ongoing commitment to public health despite partial resumption of duties.
