West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday urged residents protesting over the rape and murder of a doctor at Kolkata's R.G. Kar Medical College to call off their strikes and join the Durga Puja festivities. Addressing the ongoing protests, Banerjee emphasized that the Supreme Court had intervened and urged doctors to return to work by September 10 to prevent further disruptions. Banerjee also clarified that she did not offer compensation to the victim's family, countering claims of misinformation. The protests have disrupted medical services, affecting 7 lakh patients and delaying 7,000 surgeries.
