The junior doctors in West Bengal continue their strike demanding written assurances from the government regarding safety measures following the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College. Despite multiple rounds of talks, including a marathon six-hour meeting, the government has only provided verbal assurances, leading to continued protests. The doctors are also calling for an inquiry into the conduct of Health Secretary N S Nigam and the removal of officials implicated in corruption and negligence. The victim's parents have expressed dissatisfaction with the state's handling of the case and have placed their trust in the CBI investigation, which is probing a larger conspiracy involving former principal Sandip Ghosh. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has met some demands by removing the Kolkata Police Commissioner and other senior officials. The strike persists until the government issues formal, written directives.
