The BJP government on Thursday invoked the Rajasthan Essential Services Maintenance Act (RESMA) for three months from Sunday as its doctors warned of a strike from December 18 in support of their demands. An official notification in this regard said government employees are restricted from proceeding on mass leave stage protests or strike work. The RESMA will enable action in case doctors go ahead with their strike.
