Junior doctors in Kolkata have decided to continue their strike despite describing recent developments as a "partial victory." The West Bengal government appointed a new police commissioner for Kolkata and removed two senior health department officials, actions seen as positive steps. However, the doctors are seeking a second meeting with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, insisting they will not end the strike until their demands are fully implemented by the state government. The decision was made during a general body meeting, following Banerjee's claim that her government has accepted "99%" of the doctors' demands and urged them to return to work due to the strain on the state's healthcare system.
