Resident doctors in Maharashtra, who were on strike to seek a resolution to the delay in counselling for postgraduate medical courses and other issues, called off their protest on Tuesday after a “fruitful” meeting with the state medical education and research director.

Thousands of resident doctors in the state had gone on strike on Friday, demanding recruitment of non-academic junior resident doctors equal to the number of residents in colleges.
