Meanwhile, the interns at a press conference in the afternoon said that they would continue their work stoppage as the authorities are yet to take any measure to meet their demands. The demands include immediate withdrawal of the Deputy Director of the Hospital, strengthening the security arrangement in the hospital, proper probe and filing of case by the hospital authorities for the Tuesday night's attack and threats on the interns. A 9-member emergency squad has been formed to serve the emergency patients, they said.
