West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee announced Rs 2 lakh compensation for families of 29 people who died due to the junior doctors' strike. The BJP criticized her decision, urging adoption of the Ayushman Bharat scheme over the state's Swasthay Sathi Scheme. Junior doctors have been on strike since August 9 following a colleague's alleged rape and murder.
