Medical services in Rohini's Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar hospital were partially affected today after a section of senior resident doctors boycotted work demanding enhanced security on the campus following a scuffle between them and a group of villagers.
Around 130 resident doctors have been boycotting work since yesterday in protest against the alleged misbehaviour by two groups of people from Ghevra village, who were brought by the police for medical examination, with the doctors, hospital authorities said.
Though services in various wards of the hospital were partially affected, but emergency and ICU services, however, remained unaffected, they said.
According to the Medical Superintendent of the hospital Dr Jayant Kumar, two groups from Ghevra village, who clashed with each other, were brought to the hospital for medical examination.
"Members of the groups started fighting inside the hospital and even outsiders joined the fight, creating a ruckus in the hospital.
"When the senior doctors and others present there intervened and tried to pacify them, the groups misbehaved with them. Senior residents are now demanding an enhancement in security," said Kumar, adding that he would be holding a meeting with the agitating senior resident doctors to so that they call off their strike.
The hospital authorities have lodged an FIR at the North Rohini police station.
