Kolkata Junior Doctors Begin Hunger Strike Over RG Kar Hospital Crisis

The protest follows the expulsion of ten staff members amid allegations of harassment and misconduct, as demands for improved safety and justice remain unmet.

Ten individuals, including doctors and staff, were expelled from RG Kar Hospital following allegations of sexual harassment, extortion, and misconduct.
The expulsions are linked to the investigation of former principal Sandip Ghosh, connected to a high-profile rape and murder case at the hospital.
Junior doctors have initiated an indefinite hunger strike, demanding justice and improved safety measures in medical institutions across West Bengal.
The protesters have outlined nine demands, including the removal of the state Health Secretary and the establishment of better hospital security and infrastructure.
Despite partial resumption of duties, the doctors are determined to continue their protest until their demands are addressed by the state government.
