A nationwide strike was observed on Saturday, with doctors protesting the alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata. The 24-hour agitation, called by the Indian Medical Association (IMA), saw participation from medical professionals across various states. The strike, which began at 6 am, aimed to demand justice for the victim and included calls for better working conditions and enhanced safety measures for healthcare professionals. Despite the strike, emergency services remained operational. Doctors also condemned the vandalism at RG Kar Medical College during the protests earlier this week.
