Healthcare services across state-run hospitals in West Bengal faced significant disruptions on Monday as junior doctors continued their protest against the horrific incident involving a female doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

The situation at the hospitals was challenging, with a heavy rush observed in the outpatient departments. Senior doctors stepped in to cover for their junior colleagues, ensuring that patients received care despite the ongoing strike.

The protest, which has now entered its 11th day, was sparked by the alleged rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor on duty at RG Kar MCH on August 9. The victim, who had been working tirelessly for 36 hours, tragically lost her life in this brutal incident. The aggrieved doctors are demanding justice for their colleague and stronger legislation to ensure the safety of medical professionals in the workplace.

“This protest is for seeking justice for a female doctor who faced brutality while treating patients for 36 hours at a stretch. It is the 11th day that her body was discovered, but where is the justice? We will continue this stir until we get justice for our sister," said one of the protesting doctors at RG Kar MCH.

The incident has ignited nationwide outrage, with medical professionals across the country rallying in solidarity and demanding swift justice for the victim.
