(MENAFN- Live Mint) Kolkata doctor rape-murder case: The impasse between protesting resident doctors and the West Bengal government over the resumption of duty continued. On Wednesday, the West Bengal government dismissed junior doctors' demands for Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee 's presence and a live broadcast as prerequisites for negotiating an end to their month-long strike and standoff over the alleged rape-murder of a female medic at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. Additionally, the meeting of principals and directors from all state medical colleges and hospitals, scheduled by the CM for Thursday, has been postponed to next week due to "urgent emergency work" at these institutions.
