Healthcare services in Odisha's premier SCB Medical College and Hospital continued to be affected, as more doctors joined the ongoing ceasework against a senior professor. Senior Residents and House Surgeons of the hospital joined the strike today, boycotting their duties. The 450-strong Junior Doctors Association has been agitating since February 19, demanding immediate transfer of the professor. The junior doctors have alleged that the professor was "forcing them to work in his private hospital and take care of his personal work". Hospital Superintendent Shyama Kanungo said the situation inside the hospital was "grim" but "under control".
