Services in all Out-patient Departments (OPD) in government and private hospitals of Tripura on Monday remained closed as over 1,000 doctors joined the nationwide strike to show solidarity with their striking colleagues in Kolkata over the issue of security.

The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has given the strike call with the withdrawal of non-essential health services across the country.

IMA Tripura secretary Dr Souvik Debbarma said, "The OPDs in the state remained closed today in solidarity to the doctors of West Bengal who are assaulted by patient parties."
