Patients visiting out-patient departments of various Delhi government hospitals had to return without consultation on Monday as doctors began an indefinite strike demanding better safety measures in the wake of the rape and murder of a resident doctor in Kolkata.
The strike has caused hardships to some individuals who had come from NCR towns of Ghaziabad, Gurugram, and Faridabad as early as 5 am to secure a spot in the queue.
Mohammad Vakil, who visited the LNJP Hospital from the Badarpur border, said, “I came here early morning. I have issues with my ears.”
