KATHMANDU: Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital's senior orthopaedic surgeon Dr Govinda KC on Saturday issued an eight-day ultimatum to meet his demand and warned that he would resort to a fast-unto-death, for the ninth time in the past few years, if the demand was not heeded.

Organising a press conference at the TUTH today, Dr KC served the ultimatum of September 18 to the government to meet his single demand - implementing the four-point pact signed with him on July 24.

He said he would resort to the next round of hunger strike from the next day if the agreement was not implemented by then (September 18).
