In Mumbai, the resident doctors' strike has reached its 10th day, with 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 representative. Concurrently, the Municipal Medical Teachers Association has postponed its mass casual leave protest to allow the BMC administration time to enhance hospital security. Patient care is being impacted, with surgeries on hold and reduced OPD services causing significant strain on hospital capacity.
