Flash strike by Junior and Resident Doctors in Delhi

New Delhi, May 12 (UNI) Medical services in several Delhi hospitals, including AIIMS, were severely affected today as junior and resident doctors went on a flash strike in support of students opposing a 27 per cent OBC quota in centres of higher educational institutions.

Patients were being sent back even from the Emergency units as the doctors of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Guru Tegh Bahadur, Sucheta Kripalani and Lok Nayak Jaiprakash Narain Hospitals went on strike, union leader Anurag Mishra of the LNJP hospital said.

The decision was taken in the wake of a mass protest by medical students here against the Government's quota move.
