Resident Doctors’ Associations (RDAs) from several major central and state-run government hospitals in Delhi boycotted all healthcare services on Tuesday, 28 December – a day after the brutal police clampdown on the doctors' protest.

Members of the medical fraternity were protesting against the delay in NEET-PG counselling and Monday’s police crackdown on the agitation.
