In a press conference outside the CBI office in Kolkata, West Bengal Junior Doctors Front said that they will serve in flood-affected areas from Saturday.
“We are stopping our sit-in protest due to the flood situation. We will serve in flood-affected areas from tomorrow, but our protest will not stop. We will continue this in all medical colleges & hospitals. We will see till the next Supreme Court hearing. If we don’t get justice, we will start our protest again,” said the West Bengal Junior Doctors Front.
