WBJDF has also announced that it will participate in the medical camps to be opened by the state government amid the looming health crisis in the wake of the post-flood situation in the state.
"However, except for the General Emergency Department and medical camps, we will not work in any other department again," confirmed a protesting trainee doctor.
WBJDF representative Dr Aniket Mahato also informed reporters that their sit-ins outside Swastha Bhavan, the headquarters of the state health department in Salt Lake on the northern outskirts of Kolkata, will be lifted on Friday afternoon .
She said that on Friday afternoon, WBJDF will organize a rally from Swastha Bhavan to CBI office at CGO complex also in Salt Lake, demanding that the central agency quickly complete its ongoing investigation in the rape and murder case.
"We will demand the CBI to ensure justice for the victim at the earliest by identifying the culprits," Mahato said.
However, the protesting young doctors made it clear that the partial suspension of the work stoppage could be temporary and would be resumed if their demands, which the federal government claims to have accepted, are not met on paper.
The decision comes in the wake of a note issued by chief secretary Manoj Pant's office announcing that a security audit will be carried out in all medical colleges and hospitals in the state.
The note also stated that police and security personnel along with women staff will be deployed at all healthcare centers in consultation with the state home department.
It has also been decided that immediate steps should be taken to fill the vacant posts of GDA doctors, nurses and technicians, among others.
"A robust grievance redressal system should be developed to promptly address grievances and complaints from all stakeholders including patients and patient parties," the note said.
