They had reached the CDO office for talks after they were assured that legal action would be taken against those who attacked the doctors. However, he claims that the atmosphere there has suddenly become tense. <\/p>\n
According to him, during the talks, a representative of the Nepal Medical Association warned that if action was not taken against the culprits, the CDO became angry. He alleged that the CDO and SP used abusive language against the doctors and directed the police to take them under control. <\/p>\n
Dr. “As we were leaving the talks, police were deployed and the doctors were surrounded. The mobile phone was snatched, taken back into the office and kept under control for about an hour.

According to him, the government doctors have decided to resign en masse after the behavior of the administration. “Who will run the emergency service after all the doctors have resigned? Sinhalese has not. <\/p>\n
He reiterated his stance that they will not return to work as long as they remain in the post of CDO and SP. “How can there be a safe environment if doctors are beaten up inside the hospital and the administration threatens them again after calling them for talks? In such a situation, treatment cannot be provided,” he said. Singh says. <\/p>\n
