Junior doctors in India call off strike

The Deccan Herald, May 5, 2009

The Karnataka High Court in India has forced an end to the four-day-old, statewide strike by junior doctors. The court had called for severe action against the doctors, including suspension or cancellation of certificates. The junior doctors returned to work, but wore black armbands as a mark of their continuing protest. The doctors claimed that the withdrawal was a "temporary suspension" and they would resume the strike if government fails to address their problems.
