The Indian Medical Association (IMA) Bengal State Branch expressed deep disappointment with the Supreme Court's directive ordering protesting doctors to resume work by 5 p.m. on Tuesday or face disciplinary action. The ongoing 28-day protest, sparked by the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College, has led to severe disruptions in healthcare, with 23 patient deaths reported. The Supreme Court emphasized that protests must not compromise patient care and ordered state authorities to protect doctors returning to work. Additionally, the court mandated the removal of all images of the victim from social media.
