Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu urged striking doctors to end their indefinite protest, which began after the dismissal of Dr. Ragav Narula for allegedly assaulting a patient. Sukhu assured a review of the termination, stating that violence is unacceptable but also acknowledging doctors as part of the state's family. He appealed for trust in his assurance to resolve the issue, while a section of doctors condemned the assault but sought re-examination of the dismissal.
