In Mumbai, resident doctors are in the 10th day of their strike. The Central Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors (MARD) plans to meet with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to address their demands. The Municipal Medical Teachers Association has postponed their mass casual leave protest to allow the BMC administration time to enhance hospital security. This has led to a significant reduction in hospital services and patient care, with some hospitals operating at only one-tenth of their usual capacity. The strike has impacted the daily outpatient services at several hospitals, causing a decrease in patient numbers by over 50%.
