"We will also wait for Tuesday's hearing at the Supreme Court," the medics said after the meeting.

Mamata Banerjee announces the removal of Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday night announced that Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal, director of health services and director of medical education would be removed, giving in to the demands of the agitating junior doctors.

Noting that the talks with the protesters were fruitful, Banerjee said, nearly “99 per cent of their demands have been accepted” and they should resume their work.

The name of the new Kolkata police commissioner will be announced after 4 pm on Tuesday, she told reporters after the meeting held at her residence to resolve the crisis.

“Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal and Deputy Commissioner of the North Division Abhishek Gupta will be transferred. The doctors had claimed that Goyal had earlier told them that he wanted to step down because they had lost faith in him. We have accommodated his request and transferred him to a position he had asked for,” Banerjee said.

She said there would be more changes in the police department.

“We informed them (medics) that it is not possible to accept the demand regarding the removal of the health secretary, as it would create a sudden vacuum in the health department,” she said.

Banerjee said the government has accepted three of the protesters’ five demands.

The chief minister urged the doctors to return to work as most of their demands have been accepted.

“No punitive action will be taken against the doctors… I would request them to rejoin work as common people are suffering,” she said.
