The emergency services would continue “smoothly”, FAIM said in a statement.
“As you are aware in the light of heinous incident that occurred at RG Kar Medical College, Kolkata, involving a resident doctor, the residents of our institute are on strike demanding the urgent implementation of a “Central Protection Act” to ensure a safe environment for protecting doctors,” the statement said.
The IMA had said in its statement, “An young post graduate of chest medicine was brutally raped and killed on duty in R G Kar Medica College, Kolkata in the early hours of 9th August 2024. This has shocked the medical fraternity and the nation alike. Ever since the Resident doctors are on strike. Protests as well as candle marches have been held across the country by IMA as well. The crime situation was handled shabbily by the college authorities and the police investigations stalled after the first day.”
Last week, a postgraduate trainee doctor was raped and murdered while on duty at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. Her semi-naked body was discovered on the morning of August 9 in the seminar hall of the government-run hospital.
A civic volunteer has been arrested in connection with the crime. On Tuesday, the Calcutta high court ordered the transfer of the investigation from the Kolkata Police to the Central Bureau of Investigation.
