The resident doctors called off their strike on Tuesday midnight after the Delhi Government imposed Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA) to ensure that patients are given treatment.
Showing concern over safety of doctors in the hospitals, an official from the Health Department told The Pioneer, “Additional Home Guards will be deployed by Delhi Government and police patrolling in and around the hospital will be increased.”
