However, the third day of interns' strike almost paralysed RMCH and 50 patients left the hospital yesterday.

Interns' Council (IC) called the strike on June 21 to protest Dr Sujit's death. The IC said the death was an outcome of hospital authority's mismanagement.

Dr Wasim Hossain, president of the Bangladesh Medical Association (BMA), Rajshahi, told this correspondent the BMA yesterday asked agitating interns to withdraw the strike considering the sufferings of patients.

However, IC vice president Rabiul Islam said the strike will continue until the hospital director resigns.
