The Morning Standard
|October 10, 2024
AT least 15 senior doctors from various state-run hospitals tendered their resignation on Wednesday in solidarity with their juniors' movement, seeking justice for the rape-murder victim of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
Around 50 senior doctors, including department heads, had quit on Tuesday. Senior doctors on Wednesday said that their colleagues in other prominent hospitals might follow suit.
Meanwhile, junior doctors on Wednesday held protest rallies in different parts of Kolkata and also visited Durga Puja pandals demanding justice for RG Kar rape-murder victim. They said they would continue their protest during the pujas and raise their voice against injustice done by the police in the RG Kar case. They had a heated altercation with Kolkata Police near Esplanade.
