In a bold show of solidarity, over 45 senior doctors from RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata resigned on October 8, 2024, to support junior doctors protesting the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in August. They criticized the lack of progress in the investigation and the deteriorating health of colleagues on a hunger strike. The senior doctors urged the government to engage with the protesters and address demands for improved hospital security and the removal of the health secretary. Junior doctors continue their hunger strike, demanding justice for the victim amidst ongoing tensions.
