Doctors at medical institutions across the country have also announced to halt all medical services, except emergency, on Saturday and Sunday.
Dr KC, a senior professor at the IoM has been on fast-unto-death since Monday demanding that the appointments at the IoM be made on the basis of merit and seniority instead of political affiliations.
