The state also removed two senior health department officials, acceding to the medics' demands.

The doctors made the announcement following the conclusion of their governing body meeting, which had started around 6.30 pm and ended at around 1 AM early Wednesday.

The state government appointed Verma as the new city police commissioner a day after Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee held a meeting with the agitating junior doctors to resolve the more than a month-long impasse over the RG Kar hospital incident.

Director of Health Services (DHS) Debashis Halder, Director of Medical Education (DME) Kaustav Nayak, and Deputy Commissioner of Kolkata Police's North Division Abhishek Gupta were also removed as promised by Banerjee during the meeting.

Swapan Soren was appointed the interim DHS, while no appointment was announced for the position of the DME.

Banerjee, following a long discussion with the doctors Monday night, had announced the decision to remove Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal, who had been under fire over handling of the rape and murder of a woman doctor at the RG Kar hospital.
