"Junior doctors in government hospitals attached to medical colleges at Bhopal, Indore, Jabalpur, Gwalior and Rewa did not attend to the patients visiting the out patient departments (OPD) for half a day to show solidarity to their counterparts in Kolkata," president of Madhya Pradesh Junior Doctors Association, Dr Sachet Saxena, told PTI. Junior doctors across the country were working in difficult condition as they were falling victims to violence and attacks, he said.
