AIIMS Delhi has issued a stern warning to its protesting resident doctors, noting that any rallies on or around the hospital grounds violate High Court orders and may result in contempt of court. This follows the Resident Doctors` Association`s (RDA) decision to go on indefinite strike, halting all elective and non-essential services in response to the Kolkata doctor rape-murder case.

The AIIMS management has reminded resident doctors about the Code of Conduct detailed in a 2002 High Court judgement, which outlaws strikes, rallies, and demonstrations on campus. The administration also cited a 2011 High Court judgement that strengthened these prohibitions, reported PTI.
