In Kolkata, 247 prominent scientists have expressed solidarity with junior doctors protesting at RG Kar Medical College. They wrote a letter to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, supporting the doctors' demands and highlighting corruption within the administration. Despite the government's zero-tolerance policy, they allege that people fear reporting corruption due to the involvement of agency officials. Scientist Partha Majumdar emphasized the necessity of addressing societal injustices and supporting the doctors’ call for a corruption-free society. The protest has gained momentum, with increased public support, as the junior doctors continue their hunger strike amid ongoing demonstrations across the city.
