In Kolkata, healthcare professionals formed a human chain along the EM Bypass to demand justice for the RG Kar junior doctor who was raped and murdered on August 9. Doctors and supporters lined up from Patuli to Beleghata, rallying for justice and increased security. The protest follows previous demonstrations, including a human chain on August 19. The West Bengal Assembly recently passed the Aparajita Women and Child Bill, introducing harsher punishments for sexual crimes. Junior doctors are also continuing a sit-in protest, demanding the resignation of Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal and further action from authorities.
