• The strike is primarily in protest against the direct recruitment of Chief Medical Officers (CMOs) by the state government.
• The government initially imposed the Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA), banning strikes for six months, but has now called doctors for talks.
• Doctors plan to begin an indefinite hunger strike in Panchkula as part of their protest.
