Junior doctors in West Bengal extended their sit-in protest and 'cease work' for the 34th day, demanding justice for the alleged rape and murder of a colleague. They have been demonstrating outside the state health department headquarters for over 40 hours. The government has refused their demands for a meeting with the Chief Minister and a live broadcast. Healthcare services in state-run hospitals remain severely impacted. The protesting doctors deny any political motive, seeking only a meeting with the government to resolve the impasse. Police presence has been increased, with traffic regulation in place.
