The services in many hospitals were partially suspended on Thursday also.Notably, the alarm bells have been ringing for almost a month as doctors have been threatening to go on strike and they have begun a statewide mobilisation rally under the banner of the MP government and autonomous doctors' federation dubbed as 'Chikitsa Bachao - Chikitsak Bachao'. From January 27 to February 7 the doctors held rallies across the state.The federation comprises medical doctors from all 13 medical colleges which fall under the directorate of medical education.
