The Central Government has proposed forming a committee to address safety concerns of striking doctors protesting the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata. The Union Health Ministry, after meeting with medical associations in Delhi, urged doctors to end their strike, assuring them of swift action. The committee will include input from state governments and other stakeholders to improve the security of healthcare professionals. The strike, which halted most health services nationwide, highlights demands for better working conditions and protection against workplace violence. The Ministry emphasized the urgency, citing rising cases of Dengue and Malaria.
