He said police has been deployed around the medical college to avoid any untoward incident.
“We demand that guilty police officials be suspended immediately and the arrested doctors be released,” Chandani said, adding, “till our demands are met, the strike at the medical college will continue and the services will remain suspend.”
The IMA Kanpur chief claimed that nearly 2000 private doctors in the city are also not working in support of the strike and all nursing homes and private hospitals too were shut.
Medical services in Uttar Pradesh remained affected for the fourth day even as some patients have also reportedly died due to lack of timely medical assistance and the medical college administration is looking into the matter.
Meanwhile, Aam Admi Party leaders Kumar Vishwas and Sanjay Singh have also extended their support to the agitation saying the party is with the doctors on the issue.
Government hospitals Ursula and KPM Hospital are open and patients of the medical college are being transferred there for treatment.
