Protest in Jammu over doctor’s rape, murder in Kolkata; regular work in hospitals affected
JAMMU, Aug 12 (PTI): Hundreds of resident doctors on Monday suspended their regular work and staged a peaceful rally here to lodge their protest against the recent rape and murder of a woman postgraduate trainee doctor in Kolkata.
The protest coincided with the nationwide strike called by Federation of Resident Doctors’ Association (FORDA) against the sexual assault and murder of the trainee doctor whose body was found inside a seminar hall of the hospital on Friday morning.
Doctors wearing black armbands raised slogans calling for justice to the victim. They took out a rally from the Super Specialty Hospital holding placards, some of which read “we stand in solidarity with the victim”, “no mercy for rapists” and “raise your voice before you become the next victim”.
