New Delhi: Enraged over the Centre's announcement to implement 27 per cent reservation for OBCs in elite educational institutions, the striking medicos have called for "civil disobedience" on Thursday.
"We are asking various groups such as traders, resident welfare associations, bank personnel and members of bar associations not to work tomorrow from 9 am to 12 noon," Dr Vinod Patro, president of AIIMS Resident Doctors' Association, said.
The move is being supported by the Delhi Medical Association (DMA) and the Indian Medical Association.
The DMA would also organise a "dharna" at AIIMS on Thursday between 1100 hrs (IST) and 0500 hrs (IST) to support the medicos' agitation.
Patro said medicos were planning to organise a "Delhi Chalo" rally on May 28. The rally which is likely to be organised from Ramlila Maidan to Jantar Mantar, is a means to garner support against the Government's decision from all over the country.
On the walk-in interviews in hospitals for appointment of resident doctors, he claimed no interviews were carried out in GTB and DDU hospitals. Only three-four candidates appeared in interviews at Maulana Azad hospital, he added.
