The Association had organised the protest march on Monday has condemned the police action and announced that all healthcare institutions would be completely shut down.
"Resident Doctors, the so-called Corona Warriors, protesting peacefully to expedite NEET PG Counselling 2021 were brutally thrashed, dragged and detained by the police. There will be a complete shutdown of all Healthcare Institutions from today onwards,” it said in a statement.
As the horrific visuals of the police brutality started making rounds on different media platforms, members from the medical fraternity including students and aspirants have condemned this act by the Delhi Police and criticised the sheer injustice done towards the protesting doctors who were once praised as corona warriors for their selfless service during the peak of the pandemic.

We request the court to expedite the issue so that the counselling can be started at the earliest.”
Meanwhile, the protest entered its 12th day on December 28.
