West Bengal Doctors Seek Intervention Amid Standoff
News summary

Junior doctors in West Bengal continue to protest over the rape and murder of a colleague at RG Kar Medical College, seeking intervention from President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for justice and improved safety in hospitals. Despite a Supreme Court order to return to work, the doctors demand live-streamed meetings with the government, citing mistrust and fears for their safety. Senior doctors have warned the government against punitive actions and supported the junior doctors' strike, which has extended beyond a month. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has expressed concern over the loss of lives due to the strike and offered some concessions, but the impasse remains as doctors insist on transparency and accountability. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is probing the incident, with demands for better security measures and removal of officials implicated in mishandling the case.
