Federation of Resident Doctors Association (FORDA) on Saturday said its members will be forced to go for "mass resignation" from services if their demands are not met at the earliest.
Withdrawing from all services, resident doctors in Delhi lit ‘diyas’ to register their protest. On Wednesday, a large number of doctors protested outside the Nirman Bhawan , which houses the office of the Union health ministry, for the third consecutive day.
"Since no concrete measure has been taken by authorities yet in the concerned matter, it was unanimously decided to continue the agitation. During the meeting it was also discussed that protesting resident doctors across the nation will be forced to go forward with mass resignation from services, if the demand is not met at the earliest," FORDA said in a statement.
