mumbai, Nov. 11 -- The acting dean of Dr R N Cooper Hospital, Juhu, Dr Neelam Andrade, has written to the Juhu police demanding immediate action against those involved in the assault on on-duty doctors that occurred between 12.10am and 12.30am on November 8. Despite an FIR being registered early that morning, no concrete action was taken, even after more than 30 hours had passed, prompting outrage among resident doctors who went on mass leave in protest. On Saturday, Sameer Abdul Jabbar Shaikh, 35, attacked three doctors in Cooper Hospital after his 57-year-old mother, Sayyeda, was declared dead on arrival. A delegation from BMC Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors (MARD) on Monday met the minister of skill development and entrepreneurship, Mangal Prabhat Lodha, at KEM Hospital while he was carrying out an inspection, demanding swift justice for the doctors assaulted at Cooper. Basic services, such as measuring patients' blood pressure, were impacted at Cooper Hospital on Monday due to the absence of resident doctors and medical interns, according to hospital staff members. "The residents had taken mass leave for the last three days, which did impact our services to some extent. However, we understand their concerns. We also wrote to the Juhu police, urging them to take action against those involved," a senior BMC health official said. "The matter will soon be taken up in the High Court, the police officials have guaranteed," he added. Juhu police station's senior police inspector, Sunil Jadhav, said notices have been sent to the accused to be present before them for investigation. "We have done what was needed as per the sections of the FIR," said Jadhav. The health official added that security has been strengthened and eight personnel equipped with walkie-talkies are now posted at the hospital. A proposal to deploy the Maharashtra Security Force has also been floated and would take around three months to enforce. Dr Chinmay Kelkar, a representative of Cooper MARD, told HT, "We are continuing our mass leave until our demands are met on paper. We are waiting for the written confirmation of everything discussed in a meeting with higher authorities today, after which we will decide on the next steps."...
