Dr Sagar Mundada, chairman of the youth wing of Indian

Medical Association (IMA), also said the state government should provide more security at the hospitals and restrict the entry of relatives coming to the emergency wards with the patients.

A social activist, Afak Mandaviya, had yesterday approached the Bombay High Court seeking a direction to the resident doctors across the state to call off their protest and report to work immediately.

The petitioner also sought a direction to the state government to look into the issue and take necessary action.

The MARD had earlier assured the high court that it would not give a call or go on a strike and would only hold peaceful demonstrations highlighting their grievances.

Mandaviya had earlier filed a public interest litigation highlighting the issue of doctors frequently going on strikes, causing inconvenience to the people.
