After paying homage to the deceased junior doctor and holding a high-level meeting with the junior doctors at Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s residence, which lasted for about six and a quarter hours, the CM said that three of the five major demands of the junior doctors have been accepted. The most important demand among them was the removal of Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal. Apart from this, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that on the demand of the junior doctors, it has been decided to remove the DME (Director of Medical Education), DHS (Director of Health Services) and Deputy Commissioner of Police (North Kolkata). The Chief Minister said that apart from this, the demand for CBI inquiry has already been fulfilled and the case is continuing under the supervision of the Supreme Court. The state government has nothing to do in this regard. It is noteworthy that the meeting which began around six pm on Monday continued till a quarter to twelve at night.

Speaking to the media at around 12.15 am, after the junior doctors’ delegation left the meeting and headed towards the protest site, the CM said that they (junior doctors) were also demanding the removal of the Health Secretary but it was explained to them that if all of them are removed together, the administrative difficulties will increase.
