Maharashtra Doctors End Strike After Bombay High Court Orders Resumption of Services
Resident doctors in Maharashtra protested the government's decision to allow homeopathy practitioners with a one-year Certificate Course in Modern Pharmacology (CCMP) to register with the Maharashtra Medical Council and prescribe allopathic medicines. The strike disrupted routine services but maintained emergency care. The Bombay High Court intervened, directing doctors to end the strike to protect patient safety, warning of wage stoppage for non-compliance. While doctors withdrew the strike respecting the court's order, they continue to oppose the policy and seek legal and constitutional remedies.
