Dr Aqeeb, a protesting doctor, addressing the medicos said: “On the 41st day of the protest, West Bengal Junior Doctors Front wants to say that we achieved a lot during our agitation, but many things remain unachieved. We made the Kolkata Commissioner of Police resign and the DME, DHS resign. But this doesn’t mean the agitation is over. We will take it forward in a new way.”
