Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], August 20 (ANI): Doctors and medical students of the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital protested over the rape and murder of the trainee doctor by creating graffiti on the streets in Kolkata on Tuesday. Several messages were written on the streets as the protests entered Day 12.
Medical students said that their demands had not been met so they would continue with their protest.
Protesting students said, "We will listen to the Supreme Court order and review it. We will call for a meeting after that and the decision will be informed. We are happy that the SC has taken suo motu cognisance of the case. We have distanced ourselves from political parties and so we have cancelled our scheduled march today as it overlapped with the timing and place with a political organisation. Our demands have not been met till now."
Meanwhile, in Chandigarh, doctors held protests over the rape and murder incident on Tuesday. The doctors have started open-road OPD services.
PGIMER Resident Doctors' Association Secretary, Dr Parneet Reddy said, "Today's the 9th day of our protest. We are doing OPD on the road. We are also delivering our duty towards the public. We have only two demands, justice for the victim and the Central Protection Act. We are protesting for these 2 demands. What is stopping the government from implementing the CPA?"
