NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court of India on Wednesday (29th Jan) directed hospitals, including AIIMS New Delhi, to regularise the period of absence of doctors who had participated in protests against the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata. The decision came after a doctors’ association pointed out that while some hospitals had regularised the absence based on an earlier court order, others, including AIIMS Delhi, were treating it as leave.
