The junior doctors in West Bengal ended their 11-day sit-in outside Swasthya Bhavan on Friday and said that a statue of “Abhaya”
trainee doctor who was allegedly raped and murdered at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9, would be set up in the college.
We would resume essential services from Saturday,” Debasish Halder, one the striking medics told media, on Friday.
A few thousand junior doctors across West Bengal stopped work after the August 9 incident demanding justice for the victim.
The state government held talks at least twice with doctors last week and transferred the commissioner of Kolkata Police and a few other Indian Police Service (IPS) and senior health officials.
thousands of citizens held a relay torch rally from Hiland Park to Shyambazar-crossing covering a distance of around 42 km. They were demanding justice for the RG Kar victim.
“Justice delayed is justice denied. We want speedy trial and justice. Those guilty should be punished and Abhaya should get justice,”
“I have never seen such an apolitical rally in my life. Salute to the junior doctors who started the movement.
