The doctors though have decided to keep health services uninterrupted, however, put the onus on state government for keeping up the truce
Even with most doctors feeling the heat over the High court order and recent transfers, some "rebels" left their offices to set up tents outside to treat the needy.
In a prolonged confrontation with the health department, the in-service government doctors were out to muster public support ahead of a warning to the government. The doctors at many districts avoided going to hospitals and carried out their duties underneath trees, camps and even benches under the open sun. This was a common sight at many public health centers, community health centers and district hospitals.
"We have issued the government a notice of 72 hours to act upon the consensus reached after the recent stir, the government's adamant attitude is forcing us towards another movement," said Dr Nasreen Bharti, patron of an in-service doctors association in Rajasthan.
The doctors though have decided to keep health services uninterrupted, however, put the onus on state government for keeping up the truce. "We are committed to treat the patients, however, if forced to further intensify the agitation, it will be due to inconsideration of the state government," said Dr Durga Shankar Saini, general secretary of All Rajasthan In Service Doctors Union.
Health minister Kalicharan Saraf, meanwhile, claimed that efforts were in process for implementation of the doctors' demand agreed upon at the consensus with state government. Jaipur, did not see much of a stir.
Around 10,000 doctors employed at state health department went on mass leave in the first week of November. The stir severely impacted public health services across the state and ended after seven days following a consensus between the doctors and health minister Kalicharan Saraf. However, as many of the doctors to have led the agitation got transferred, the doctors are back on agitation path.
