New Delhi, Dec 16: Four more members of the AIIMS Resident Doctors' Association today joined the indefinite fast, launched by the RDA yesterday in protest against the passage of the OBC Reservation Bill in the Lok Sabha.
The number of residents who are on the hunger strike today rose to 24 with four more doctors joining the fast, AIIMS RDA General Secretary Arnab said.
