In a dramatic response to the alleged rape and murder of a female doctor at RG Kar Medical College, over 100 doctors have resigned from two major Kolkata medical colleges. On October 9, 60 doctors from Calcutta Medical College followed 50 from RG Kar in solidarity with junior doctors staging a hunger strike demanding justice. The protesting medics are calling for accountability from the Health Secretary and improved safety measures in hospitals. They emphasize the urgent need for systemic reforms, including better police protection and a centralized referral system for medical services.
