In Mumbai, the resident doctors' strike has reached its 10th day, with representatives from the Central Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors (MARD) planning to meet with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde soon. The protest will continue until their demands are met by the state government, according to a Central MARD spokesperson. Meanwhile, the Municipal Medical Teachers Association has postponed their mass casual leave protest to give the BMC administration time to enhance hospital security. This has led to disruptions in hospital services, with reduced surgeries and outpatient visits. Patients are facing challenges due to the significant drop in hospital capacity, especially in hospitals like KEM, LTMG, Nair, and Cooper in Mumbai.
