Watch: doctors-police face-off at Delhi hospital as protests over NEET continue

Protesting doctors are demanding an apology from the police that have denied use of force.

Doctors of several hospitals have joined the agitation, which has affected the medical services in the Capital.

To make the matter worse, doctors' bodies have given a call to shut all non-emergency medical services from Wednesday if their demands are not met.

The NEET was scheduled in December 2020 but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The exam was finally held in September this year. But counselling for admissions for entry to medical colleges got delayed, which sparked the protest.
