"We strongly condemn the police action against doctors who were peacefully agitating in Delhi demanding expediting NEET-PG counseling. Cops violated norms, manhandled our fellow doctors, especially women, and used brute force against them, Sravan said.
He added that the protest during the day affected OPD but emergency services were functional, and doctors ensured no patient suffered.
On Monday, members of Federation of Resident Doctors' Association (FORDA) in Delhi were stopped by police while they were marching from Maulana Azad Medical College to the Supreme Court.
