Agitated over repeated attacks on the doctors and health workers engaged in a grim battle against COVID-19, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) has demanded that the union government should enact a central law on violence against doctors and hospitals without any further delay. The state secretary of the Uttarakhand state branch of IMA, Dr D D Choudhury said that the law should be enacted by ordinance. He said that the IMA would observe a ‘White alert’ on Wednesday, April 22 during which all doctors would light a candle at 9 pm. Dr Choudhary added that if the law is not enacted then on April 23, the doctors would observe a ‘Black Day’ during which the doctors would wear black badges as a mark of their protest. He added that both these days are warning to the government.
