The West Bengal government on Wednesday invited the agitating junior doctors for talks on the ongoing impasse arising out of the alleged raped and murder of a woman medic.

Following a mail sent by the medics earlier in the day, the government asked them to join a meeting at the state secretariat at 6 pm on Wednesday.

"We invite your delegation preferably consisting of 12-15 colleagues to join us for a discussion at 6 pm today, ie, 11.09.2024, in Nabanna. A list of the members of your delegation may please be intimated by email. We look forward to your positive response and hope for a fruitful dialogue," state chief secretary Manoj Pant said in the letter.

However, it has not been mentioned whether the meeting will be chaired by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee or not.

Agitating junior doctors in West Bengal on Wednesday sent an email to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, seeking an appointment to discuss the ongoing impasse arising out of the alleged rape and murder of an on-duty medic at a state-run hospital here last month.

In their mail, the medics mentioned that they were open for a meeting "anytime and anywhere", provided that the entire discussion must be streamed live, a doctor said. -- PTI
