Junior doctors in West Bengal called off their 15-day hunger strike after meeting Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday. The strike was held to protest the alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College. A group of 17 doctors met Banerjee to discuss their demands, including safety and healthcare reforms. Although they received some assurances, the doctors expressed concerns about the state government's response. The protests had drawn widespread public support, and the doctors ended the strike due to their deteriorating health and requests from the victim’s family.
