Resident doctors across Himachal Pradesh have begun an indefinite strike, impacting medical services except emergencies. The protest stems from the termination of a senior resident doctor following a viral video of an alleged altercation with a patient. Doctors argue the termination was disproportionate and demand its revocation, citing resentment within the medical community. Patients, particularly those from remote areas, face significant inconvenience due to the disruption of OPD and routine services.
