A representative of the Joint Delhi Resident Doctors' Association (RDA) Action Committee shared, "We suspended our strike in good faith, trusting the process, but now we feel betrayed."
"The lack of communication and delayed action shows an alarming lack of sensitivity toward our safety concerns," the representative said.
On Thursday, October 17, the committee will be conducting a press conference as well. They will convey that if any healthcare professional faces consequences owing to the ongoing struggle, they will withdraw from elective as well as emergency services. They will discuss other issues too, stated a report by PTI.
