Healthcare services remained affected at state-run hospitals in West Bengal on Thursday, as junior doctors continued their ceasework for the 14th consecutive day to protest against the alleged rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee at the Kar Medical College and Hospital (RGKMCH).
The agitating doctors continued their stir even though the state government transferred three officials of the KMCH and cancelled the posting of the Hospital’s former principal Sandip Ghosh to the Calcutta Medical College and Hospital (CNMC).
“Our agitation will continue as only part of our demands have been met. We have the main demand for the justice of our sister yet to be fulfilled. We will wait and see today’s development at the Supreme Court and decide after that,” one of the agitating doctors told PTI.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which took over the investigation into the alleged rape and murder of the woman doctor atKMCH, will be submitting its status report on the probe to the Supreme Court.
The West Bengal government on Wednesday night removed three senior officials of the Kar Medical College and Hospital, bowing to the demand of junior doctors who have been protesting against the alleged rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor in the state-run health facility.
