Junior doctors in West Bengal have resumed a total cease work, demanding improved safety and security measures in hospitals. This comes after partially resuming duties following a 42-day protest over the rape and murder of a female doctor at RG Kar Medical College.
The doctors claim the state has not fulfilled promises made during meetings with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee regarding safety and security. Senior doctors have been deployed to manage emergency services amid the ongoing strike.
The protesting medics also called for a demonstration and raised concerns over the slow progress of the CBI investigation into the murder case and a lack of systemic reforms in the healthcare system. They demand immediate government action and safeguards for medical professionals.
