West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has said that the state government has accepted three out of four demands of the protesting junior doctors.

Addressing the media after meeting the junior doctors at her residence at Kalighat last night, Ms. Banerjee said, in view of their demand, Kolkata police commissioner Vineet Goyal will be removed. She said, the changes in the police force will be made effective through a notification this afternoon. She said, DC North is also being transferred and Director, Medical Education DME and Director, Health Services DHS are also being removed.

Ms. Banerjee said, one demand is already in subjudice status. The Chief Minister urged the junior doctors to join their duty. Junior doctors in Kolkata are holding protests over a rape-murder case, demanding justice.

After returning to their dharna-manch, the protesting doctors said, these decisions reflect a victory of their movement. However, they said, the sit-in protest and cease-work will continue till the assurances are implemented into reality.
