In response to the rape and murder of a female doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College, the Federation of Resident Doctors Association (FORDA) will halt elective services nationwide on August 12. This action follows a warning from the Indian Medical Association (IMA) of potential protests if demands are unmet within 48 hours. FORDA's five demands include immediate justice, protection for protesting doctors, and stringent security measures for healthcare workers. The federation's decision aims to highlight the need for safety and swift action following the tragic incident.
