The indefinite strike launched by resident doctors attached to the New Civil Hospital, to press for withdrawal of the evening OPD system, entered its eighth day on Tuesday.

He said if the state government failed to withdraw the directive on evening OPD in three days, even Vadodara8217;s resident doctors would go on strike to express their solidarity.
