Protesting doctors in West Bengal refused to return to work despite Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's appeal, citing a perceived threat in her recent speech. Banerjee had warned that filing a police complaint could ruin someone's future and hinder their ability to obtain a passport or visa. Doctors viewed this as a covert threat. The Supreme Court had asked junior doctors to resume work, but they remain on strike, demanding justice and action on their grievances. The standoff continues, leaving many poor patients without access to medical treatment.
