West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee made a surprise appearance at the junior doctors' protest site near Salt Lake on Saturday, urging them to return to work and vowing to resolve their concerns. Despite her appeal, the protestors stood firm, refusing to back down until their demands were fully granted, reported PTI.

The Chief Minister, accompanied by DGP Rajiv Kumar, arrived at the Swasthya Bhawan headquarters in Sector 5 at 1 pm. Her entrance caught many off guard, and she was greeted with chants of "We want justice." Speaking to the doctors, Banerjee stated that she had no intention of repressing their movement, claiming, "I came to meet you as your 'didi' (elder sister) not as the chief minister. I assure you that I will study your demands and take action if someone is found guilty."
