The notice comes as thousands of people took to the streets after a gruesome rape and murder of a Kolkata doctor sparked outrage amongst the public.
Large crowds marched through the streets in West Bengal to condemn the killing, with a candlelight rally at midnight coinciding with the start of India's independence day celebrations on Thursday.
Doctors in government hospitals across several states on Monday halted elective services "indefinitely", demanding speedy justice and better workplace security.
