JPD has threatened to continue a sit-in demonstration near Dorina Crossing in central Kolkata till their demands are met.
Kolkata: The association of doctors in West Bengal has decided to observe an extended protest over the alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in August this year, and they have applied to seek permission from the police.
“We have sent a letter to the police commissioner informing him that we want to continue our demonstration beyond December 26. We want to continue the demonstration till our demands are met,” said Tamonash Chowdhury, a member of the Joint Platform of Doctors (JPD), an umbrella body of several associations of medics.
On December 23, the Calcutta High Court allowed JPD to hold a demonstration near Dorina Crossing until December 26 after the police refused to permit it earlier. JPD has proposed continuing a sit-in demonstration near Dorina Crossing in central Kolkata until their demands are met.
Scores of doctors held a protest march to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) office at CGO Complex in Salt Lake on Tuesday after a leaked report from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory said the team did not spot any signs of a scuffle between the victim and the attacker inside the seminar room, the crime spot.
