However, no routine work was suspended nor were emergency patients left unattended. Talking to the Pir Panjal Post Dr Manjit said , "we had given enough time to the government to listen to our genuine demands but no heed has been paid so far". He further said that " our demands are less about money and more about honour and respect to the doctors of the state.
The Doctors assured that we won't let patients suffer, but after the month of Ramzan, "we will go for other forms of protest as well".
