The second round of talks between the West Bengal government and the agitating junior doctors to resolve the RG Kar impasse ended after nearly two-and-a-half hours on Wednesday evening, officials said.

Although the meeting has ended, the agitating doctors were yet to come out of the venue, state secretariat Nabanna.

The details of the meeting were awaited.

The delegation of around 30 medics reached the secretariat around 7.15 pm.

The meeting with Chief Secretary Manoj Pant started around 7.30 pm.

Just like Monday when they held talks with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, the protesting medics were accompanied by stenographers to record the minutes of the meeting. -- PTI
