"We are deployed in all shifts": CISF DIG after SC ordered deployment at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], August 22 (ANI): After the Supreme Court ordered the deployment of CISF at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, CISF Deputy Inspector General K Pratap Singh on Thursday said that the teams of CISF have been deployed that will work in all the shifts.
DIG CISF K Pratap Singh said, "You can see we have already deployed. You will find us deployed in all the shifts. Let us do our job. It will all happen, just wait and watch."
Earlier on August 21, Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) wrote a letter to the Chief Secretary of West Bengal on the deployment of Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata in response to the rising protests following the rape and murder incident of a postgraduate trainee doctor of the institution.
The MHA's letter, addressed to the Chief Secretary of West Bengal, outlines the need for increased security measures to manage the situation effectively. The deployment aims to support local law enforcement in handling the surge in protests and ensuring a stable environment for doctors.
The step was taken a day after the Supreme Court on Tuesday asked to hand over the security of Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital to the CISF as it heard the suo motu case of the rape and murder of the trainee doctor there.
This move comes as West Bengal faces a period of heightened agitation, with protesters voicing various grievances. The CISF's intervention is expected to bolster security efforts and help mitigate any potential threats to public peace. (ANI)
