Current Situation
In a separate development, doctors in Karnal have been on strike for three days as of March 7, 2026, due to an alleged assault on Dr. Prashant Chauhan by police personnel. The incident occurred on March 4, 2026, prompting the Haryana Civil Medical Services Association (HCMSA) to demand that an FIR be registered against the police officers involved.
During the strike, government doctors suspended outpatient department (OPD) services while continuing to provide emergency services. The Indian Medical Association, Haryana, has voiced its support for the doctors’ demands, highlighting the need for justice in this troubling situation.
SP Narender Bijarniya has taken action by suspending the Station House Officer (SHO) involved in the incident and transferring him to the police lines. In response to the ongoing strike, Dr. Sanjay Verma stated, “Our only request is to the district administration to register the FIR against the SHO and others.”
The Indian Medical Association, Haryana, expressed their concerns, stating, “It is disturbing when the force designed for protection of the law-abiding citizens becomes a source of intimidation and brutality.” This sentiment reflects the broader issues of safety and accountability within law enforcement.
Looking Ahead
Dr. Poonam Chaudhary, a representative of the striking doctors, expressed hope that normal services would resume soon, saying, “Doctors have started emergency services and I am hopeful they will resume other services soon.” As the situation develops, the community and medical professionals await further actions from the authorities regarding the demands for justice.
