# Maharashtra resident doctors call off strike after HC order 2026-08-07T10:41:33+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Resident doctors in Maharashtra withdrew their indefinite strike on Thursday after the Bombay High Court ordered them back to work, warning of wage cuts if they did not comply. The protest, which began on August 5, opposed a June 30 Maharashtra Medical Council notification allowing homoeopaths to prescribe modern medicines after a six-month Certificate Course in Modern Pharmacology. The court took suo motu cognisance of the strike, expressing concern for patient lives. The Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors (MARD) said it was withdrawing the strike solely due to the court directive, and that its demands remain unresolved. MARD plans to meet Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and will announce its next steps after that discussion. ## Coverage - health.economictimes.indiatimes.com - timesnownews.com Tags: Bombay High Court, homoeopathy, Maharashtra, medical regulation, resident doctors Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/maharashtra-resident-doctors-withdraw-strike-after-bombay-hc-order/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
