The 12-day long strike by in-service doctors in Rajasthan came to an end tonight after eight-hour long talks with the government. The strike was called off after government assured the doctors to look into their demands and withdraw action against them.
A meeting was held between a delegation of doctors led by President of All-Rajasthan In-service Doctors Association, Ajay Chaudhary and state Health Minister Kali Charan Saraf and others in Jaipur.
Rajasthan BJP President Ashok Parnami, who was also present in the meeting, said, both parties have agreed on most of the issues. Dr Ajay Chaudhary said, in-service and resident doctors will return to work.
The strike had badly affected medical services in the state since December 16. The Rajasthan High Court on Monday had directed the state government to take action against the doctors if they did not resume duty, following which the government gave a 24-hours ultimatum to resume duty which ended last night.
