Kolkata, Sep 16 (Reporter) West Bengal Chief Secretary Manoj Pant on Monday invited agitating junior doctors for talks with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s Kalighat residence at 5 pm. This is the fifth attempt by the government to end the over 35-day agitation that has paralysed Outdoor Patients Departments in government hospitals. "The meeting is scheduled for 5 pm today i.e. 16th September 2024 at Hon'ble Chief Minister's Kalighat residence. The same delegation which came for the last discussions is requested to arrive at the venue at 4.45 pm today. We look forward to your positive response and a productive and fruitful discussion," the email sent by Pant. The government's email specified that this is the 5th and final call of invitation ahead of Tuesday's Supreme court hearing of the lady medic murder. The Junior medics, on protest demonstration at Swasthya Bhavan here since Tuesday, said they were also consulting their advocates regarding attending the meeting with the CM and expressed their openness for talks to end the deadlock. On Saturday a 30-member delegation from the West Bengal Junior Doctors Front went to the CM residence at Kalighat but the proposed meeting could not materialise due to disagreement over a few issues. Sources said that medics have diluted some of their demands which originally included live streaming of talks. At the start of their agitation, the doctors had demanded punishment for the murderer of the doctor at R G Kar Hospital on August 5; safety at work place; resignation of city police commissioner and resignation of three state health department, among others. The chief secretary's email underlined that the proposed meeting cannot be videographed or live-streamed - the point on which the earlier meeting fell through on Saturday. "This is the fifth and final time we are reaching out to you for a meeting between the Honourable Chief Minister and your delegates. In line with our discussion from the day before, we are once again inviting you to a meeting with the Honourable Chief Minister at her Kalighat residence for a discussion with an open mind," the email said. "We trust that good sense will prevail, and as mutually agreed and as per your statement to the media day before - there will be no live streaming or videography of the meeting, given that the matter is sub-judice in the highest court of the country," it added. Meanwhile, the junior doctors began a general body meeting after receiving the government invitation to decide their next move. Protesting doctor Aniket Mahato told reporters before attending the general body meeting that they would stick to their five-point demands...////...
