Junior Doctors Continue Strike Over Doctor's Death

Junior doctors in West Bengal are continuing their strike for the 14th consecutive day, protesting the rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. Despite the Supreme Court's appeal for them to return to work, the doctors insist that justice for their colleague remains their primary goal, emphasizing that healthcare services are significantly affected due to their absence. The state government has made some administrative changes, transferring three officials from RG Kar hospital and cancelling the posting of the former principal, Sandip Ghosh, amid ongoing investigations. The Supreme Court criticized the Kolkata Police for delays in the case, calling the situation 'extremely disturbing.' The protesting doctors are also considering escalating their demands by approaching the CBI for a quicker investigation. The incident has sparked nationwide protests, highlighting issues of safety and accountability within the medical community.
