JAIPUR: The Indian Medical Association (IMA) called off the boycott of work in the state as they were satisfied with the action taken by the government on their demands. However, a faction of doctors has decided to continue the protest. Three doctors sat on a hunger strike in the city on Sunday.
IMA state president Dr Ashok Sharda said, "We have called off our boycott of work. A lot of doctors have returned to work. We are satisfied with the action taken by the state government on the matter of Dr Archana Sharma’s suicide case. We demanded the safety and security of Dr Sharma’s family. Also, the government has fulfilled the demand not to level charges of murder against doctors and register an FIR under Section 304A (causing death by negligence) of the Indian Penal Code. Also, Rajasthan Medicare Service Persons and Medicare Service Institutions (Prevention of Violence and Damage to Property) Act, 2008, has been implemented in the state," said Dr Sharda.
