AIIMS Delhi Warns Doctors Amidst Strike Over Alleged Rape and Murder Case

AIIMS Delhi has warned its resident doctors against protests on campus, citing a violation of High Court orders. The Resident Doctors' Association, protesting over the alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata, has halted all non-essential services. Violations may lead to disciplinary actions and contempt of court charges.

AIIMS Delhi has issued a stern warning to its protesting resident doctors against holding any demonstration on or around the hospital campus. According to the administration, such actions violate High Court directions and amount to contempt of court.

The Resident Doctors' Association (RDA) at AIIMS Delhi initiated an indefinite strike on Monday, suspending all elective and non-essential services, including OPDs and wards. The protest is in response to the alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor at a government hospital in Kolkata.

The administration has mandated that all Heads of Department and center chiefs report the attendance of resident doctors daily by 3 pm. An Office Memorandum issued on Monday reminded the resident doctors about the Code of Conduct outlined by a Division Bench of the High Court in 2002 and subsequent orders in 2011, emphasizing that violations will result in disciplinary actions and may constitute contempt of court.
