On August 12, the Resident Doctors Association declared a strike from 11:30 am in protest of the incident that happened with the junior doctor of RGKMC Kolkata. After this, the junior doctors left their duty and took out a protest march in the entire OPD block. Due to the strike, the prescription making time was reduced by one hour. Prescriptions were made only from 8 am to 11:30 am, whereas on normal days prescriptions are made from 8 am to 12:30 pm. On August 12, a total of 3,970 prescriptions were made, whereas on normal days 6,000 prescriptions are made.

Here, due to the junior doctors being on strike, senior residents and professors have taken care of the arrangements. But due to the large crowd of patients, patients were given only one or two minutes of time in the OPD. RDA President Dr. Mohammad Asim Siddiqui said that the deceased junior doctor should get justice.
