A woman doctor was raped and murdered at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata last week.
Healthcare services remained affected across West Bengal for the tenth consecutive day on Sunday as agitating junior doctors at state-run hospitals continued their cease-work demanding justice for the woman doctor who was raped and murdered at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital here. #WATCH | Kolkata, West Bengal: The students and junior doctors continue to protest at the RG Kar Medical College & Hospital.(Morning visuals from outside the hospital) pic.twitter.com/aOdAZRzueA
As the outpatient departments (OPDs) at government hospitals are closed on Sundays, the rush was less even as senior doctors were attending the emergency department to provide treatment to the visiting patients.
"We are not for affecting healthcare services. We can understand the problems faced by the patients but our protest is very relevant in this context when an on-duty doctor was raped and murdered. Is this what we expect while coming to work? We will continue with our protest till our sister gets justice and the government arranges total security for us," an agitating doctor told PTI.
