Bengal: Sr doctors join hunger strike as govt negotiations fail to resolve issues

Kolkata, Oct 10 (UNI) A group of senior medics representing the Joint Platform of Doctors on Thursday joined their protesting juniors of the West Bengal government hospitals', who are on a fast-unto-death hunger strike, which entered the 6th day, official sources said.
The senior doctors on a 12-hour hunger strike, which began at 9 AM, alongside the juniors' indefinite fast, appealed to the government's highest authorities to make efforts to end the deadlock as no other officials in the state have any power to concede doctors 10-point demands, including the removal of state health secretary Narayan Swaroop Nigam.
They said the health of the fasting doctors, although they looked okay for now, might create a major problem for the health condition at any time.
