Healthcare services at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna remained affected for the third consecutive day on Sunday (August 3, 2025) as resident doctors continued their strike against the alleged high-handedness of Sheohar MLA Chetan Anand.
Representatives of the Resident Doctors Association (RDA) have called a general body meeting on Sunday (August 3, 2025) to discuss their future course of action. A delegation of the RDA members had met senior officials of the hospital on Saturday as efforts are being made to break the logjam.

Both sides have filed FIRs in connection with the incident, the police said, noting that an investigation is underway.
