On August 12, 2024, ten government hospitals in Delhi, including Maulana Azad Medical College and Safdarjung Hospital, began an indefinite strike. This move, joined by NIMHANS in Bengaluru, follows the rape and murder of a doctor at RG Kar Medical College, Kolkata. Protests continue in West Bengal, disrupting hospital services for the fourth day. The Federation of Resident Doctors' Association (FORDA) demands a CBI investigation and enhanced safety measures. While outpatient and elective services are suspended, emergency care remains operational across affected regions.
