IMA Calls Off Doctors' Strike After Bombay HC Intervenes
Doctors in Maharashtra stopped working as part of a strike.
That was a problem because hospitals need doctors to take care of sick people.
The Bombay High Court, which is an important court in Mumbai, decided to look into the matter on its own.
The court sent official notices to the doctors' groups and the state government.
The Indian Medical Association, one of the doctors' groups, then told the court it would end the strike.
The doctors' promise was made through their lawyer in court.
This means hospital services that were affected should start working normally again.
The court scheduled a hearing to keep looking at the issue.
The news is still breaking, so more details are expected later.
The Indian Medical Association assured the Bombay High Court it is withdrawing the statewide doctors' strike.
The Bombay High Court took suo motu cognisance of the strike and issued notices to the IMA, MARD, and the Maharashtra government.
A hearing in the matter was scheduled for today.
The strike was a statewide agitation that affected hospital services in Maharashtra.
The withdrawal is expected to help restore normal hospital services; the story is still developing.
