Thousands of junior doctors, nurses, and medical students in Kolkata protested on Mahalaya, demanding justice for a trainee doctor from RG Kar Medical College who was raped and murdered on August 9. The Bengal Junior Doctors' Front organized the rally, demanding safety measures and justice for the victim. Protestors refused to resume work, citing unfulfilled promises by the West Bengal government, including 24/7 security and CCTV cameras in hospitals. They gathered on the Ganga's banks, lighting 1,000 diyas to honor the victim, vowing to continue their protests.
