Kolkata Doctors' Strike Continues Amid Failed Talks and Arrests

Junior doctors demand justice for the alleged rape and murder of a colleague as the West Bengal government denies live recording of meetings.

Junior doctors in Kolkata have been on strike since August 9, demanding justice for a colleague allegedly raped and murdered at RG Kar Medical College.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visited the protest site, urging doctors to resume work and promising to address their demands.
Talks between the state government and junior doctors failed again after the government refused to allow live recording of the meeting for security reasons.
The CBI has arrested the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and a police officer for evidence tampering related to the case.
Protesting doctors have sought intervention from President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and await a Supreme Court hearing on September 17.
