The Supreme Court has directed protesting doctors in West Bengal to resume work by Tuesday, 5 p.m., or face disciplinary action. The ongoing 28-day protest by doctors, triggered by the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Hospital, has severely impacted the state's healthcare system. Twenty-three patient deaths were reported during the disruption. The SC emphasized that protests must not come at the expense of duty. The court ordered police and state authorities to ensure the safety of returning doctors and remove all images of the victim from social media platforms.
