With a promise of “protection”, Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday asked “willing” junior doctors to resume work, while appealing to the others to come to the negotiating table at the state secretariat, Nabanna, for the sake of “humanity”.

She ruled out going to the NRS Medical College and Hospital campus — the epicentre of the standoff — as demanded by the striking junior doctors.

The CM assured the doctors that her government was against taking any coercive action — like arrests or imposition of the Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA) — to get them back to work.
