Kolkata junior doctors’ hunger strike enters 16th day despite Mamata Banerjee’s appeal

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee has urged junior doctors on a 16-day hunger strike to end their fast and engage in talks. Despite the Chief Secretary’s invitation for discussions, the doctors demand justice for the RG Kar Hospital rape-murder victim and systemic changes in healthcare, including removing officials. Six doctors have been hospitalized due to deteriorating health.
