The doctors were arrested from Tonk, Jaipur, Kota, Swai Madhopur, Bharatpur, Jhalawar and Banswara districts, ADG (Law and Order) NRK Reddy said.
The arrests came after the deadline set by the government for the medical practitioners to resume work expired on Friday evening, the officer said.

The major demands of the agitating doctors included single shift, hike in the grade pay scale and promotions.
