Resident doctors in Himachal go on indefinite strike after IGMC termination sparks unrest

OPD shutdown hits patients as protests spread hospital to hospital

Resident doctors in Himachal Pradesh have launched an indefinite strike after a resident doctor was terminated in a case linked to a viral video alleging assault. Support from doctors’ organisations across many hospitals has kept OPD services shut in most places, while remaining open only with very limited staffing. The action follows a mass leave the day before the strike began.
