West Bengal: Cease work
The Left might be losing its grip over West Bengal but one of the legacies of the Leftist rule— work strikes— shows no sign of losing steam. Kolkata was in the grip of two massive strikes during the week. The junior doctors' strike which began on Saturday at the premier SSKM Hospital, soon spread to other government hospitals. The doctors stopped working after relatives of a patient who died there assaulted some doctors.
The doctors finally called off their strike on Tuesday evening after they were assured adequate security by Kolkata Police Commissioner. But it was not before long negotiations and hectic parleys that saw deadlines set by the government ending without any positive outcome. Among the many assurances given to the striking doctors by the police is the installation of CCTVs in all wards of the five hospitals. “The number of security personnel deployed in the hospitals will be increased and an officer-in-charge will be appointed in the police outposts of each of the five hospitals,” said Joint CP Jawed Shamim.
While junior doctors at SSKM are pleading for better infrastructure to end patient-doctor clashes, their counterparts at CNMC are concerned about security.During the strike, some of the doctors also picked a squabble with media persons at SSKM Hospital late on Sunday. The striking doctors did not want media persons to cover the inconvenience faced by patients because of the strike. A child patient was brought to the hospital late at night but there was no doctor in attendance. Some TV journalists at the spot started covering the child's plight which resulted in a heated verbal exchange between the two sides. The doctors soon came to blows and the scuffle reportedly left a few journalists injured. Earlier in the day, hundreds of patients were either refused treatment or not attended to at SSKM and Calcutta National Medical College due to cease work by junior doctors.
On the other side, about 1700 employees of the Calcutta High Court were on strike demanding pay hike in accordance with the new pay commission. The strike entered day 7 on Wednesday. State Finance Minister Asim Dasgupta said that the state government had increased the salary of the High Court employees by 40 per cent in 2008.
Meanwhile, hundreds of accused persons lodged in various jails are at the receiving end due to the ongoing impasse in the High Court. Many of them were not released even after they were granted bail in the last few days.
