Junior doctors in Kolkata protesting the recent rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College have issued a 24-hour ultimatum to the West Bengal government. They demand immediate safety measures in hospitals, threatening an indefinite hunger strike if not fulfilled. Protesters criticized the government's slow progress, despite commitments made in the Supreme Court. A torchlight procession was held by medical students and doctors, while private hospital staff lit lamps at Ganga Ghat in solidarity.
