AIIMS Delhi Resident Doctors' Association (RDA) on Tuesday cancelled its strike to be held on December 29, as per an ANI tweet.


In an official statement, AIIMS Delhi RDA said, "Assuring the NEET PG 2021 counselling to be held at the earliest...AIIMS Delhi RDA has decided to take back the decision of strike on December 29. All services to be continued as normal."



Further, the AIIMS RDA said, "The RDA continues to support the cause of the protesting doctors and will act with haste in this regard if the authorities do not stick to their promise."

Earlier today, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya met a delegation of the Federation of Resident Doctors' Association (FORDA) to hear their issues and urged them to call off the strike in the larger interest of the public. “I held a meeting with all resident doctors. We're not able to do the counselling because the matter is sub-judice before Supreme Court. The hearing will take place on Jan 6. I hope that NEET PG counselling will start soon,” Mandaviya said.
