KATHMANDU: Doctors affiliated with Nepal Medical Association (NMA) continued their protest nationwide today demanding that the government fulfill their demands. "Although the talk is heading toward a positive direction, we want it to be decided from the Cabinet," said Dr Kedar Narsingh KC, president of NMA. He said that the ministry was contemplating over buying more time to settle the issue. Meanwhile, physicians across the nation are continuing their work by tying black bands around their wrists.
