On Friday, the junior doctors had announced to go on a statewide strike on Tuesday if the state government failed to meet their demands by Monday.

Speaking with the junior medics, Mamata had urged them to withdraw the hunger strike. After the protesting junior medics wanted to meet in person for a meeting, the Chief Minister had asked a 10-member delegation to visit the state secretariat Nabanna on Monday at 5 pm.

CM Mamata Banerjee has reached out to fasting junior doctors in Kolkata, promising to address their demands within three to four months. Despite her plea to end the strike, the doctors plan to continue their protest until they see tangible actions from the government.
