Over 3L doctors in govt-run hosps hit the streets against rape, murder of 2nd-yr PG student

Bengal stir finds nat'l resonance

OVER three lakh doctors and medical students from several government hospitals across the country on Monday embarked on an indefinite strike against the brutal rape and murder of a 31-year woman doctor on duty at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical Hospital last week.

As doctors, mainly resident doctors, joined the nationwide protest call given by the Federation of Resident Doctors' Association (FORDA), which has 5 lakh members, all elective services in government-run hospitals came to a halt.

The agitation will likely intensify on Tuesday, with more states, resident doctors associations, and even private institutions set to join the protest. Doctors, some wearing white coats, with stethoscopes and masks, took out protest marches, raised slogans, demanding justice, waved placards and asked for a central law for protection.
