On the occasion of Doctors' Day, a resident doctors' body Monday sent a postcard to Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, alleging the government has "failed" in stopping attacks on doctors and asked him to "grow a spine".
The Federation of Resident Doctors Association (FORDA) also observed a black day on Monday in protest against "rising cases" of violence targeting the medical fraternity in the country.
The postcard, signed by FORDA Secretary General Dr Suni Arora, addresses Harsh Vardhan. "Honourable Union Minister for Health and Family Minister #GrowASpine,"
