Mumbai, Mar 22 (IBNS): As the agitation through mass leave by a section of doctors in Maharashtra entered into its third day on Wednesday, the state government has warned them saying they stand to lose six months' salary unless they join work by eight pm, media reported.

Meanwhile, 310 doctors from Nagpur have been suspended for staying away from work on unauthorised leave, according to media reports.

At the same time, nearly 1200 doctors from Mumbai were served show cause notices for abstaining from work.

On Tuesday, the Bombay High Court had ordered the agitating doctors to join work immediately and defying the order will result in contempt of court.

But the doctors defied the order and continued to stay away from work, media reports said.

Nearly 4,500 Resident doctors across Mumbai and several other parts of Maharashtra went on  mass leave on Monday following three incidents of violence in which several of them were where attacked, reports said.

The doctors, in their leave applications, have said that they cannot work under such life-threatening conditions.
