    OUR BUREAU
    People down with flu or other ?not-so-serious? ailments will find it tough to see a doctor on Monday owing to medics? strike. Emergency services will not be hit, though.

    Dr Rajiv Ranjan, the secretary of the Bihar chapter of Indian Medical Association (IMA), told The Telegraph: ?But for emergency services, people of our fraternity will not attend to patients on Monday.?

    About 4,000 government doctors and around 25,000 private practitioners across the state would abstain from work on Monday following a strike call given by IMA to register its protest against the Centre?s move to constitute National Commission of Human Resource for Health (NCHRH) in place of Medical Council of India, which regulates the functioning of doctors now.
