R.G Kar Doctors continue strike until CBI, state reports submitted

KOLKATA: Junior doctors at R.G Kar Medical College and Hospital protesting the rape and murder of a 31-year-old fellow doctor, have decided to continue their protest until the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and state government submit their status reports to the Supreme Court. They are also awaiting the court’s response to their concerns.

On Tuesday, Chief Justice of India (CJI) urged doctors to return to work as soon as possible.

The CJI stated, “We request all the doctors who are abstaining from work across the country to resume their duties at the earliest. The ongoing abstention affects those segments of society who require medical care the most and need access to essential services.”

The CJI assured the protesting doctors and medical professionals that their concerns are being given serious attention.
