A day before the festival of lights, West Bengal Junior Doctors’ Front (WBJDF) has tried to address the darkness in the medical sector.
Medics marched to the CBI office in Salt Lake on Wednesday to demand “a proper charge-sheet” and the “swift arrest” of all culprits in the RG Kar rape and murder.
The march is an attempt to remind the CBI that although the crime took place “almost three months ago, the agency has still not been able to identify all those involved”.
Those taking part in the vigil will carry flaming torches, a junior doctor said.
This is not it, the junior doctors have also given a call for mass conventions and rallies across the state on November 9 to demand justice for the young doctor who was raped and murdered on August 9 and to press for other demands.
A platform called Abhaya Mancha was formed on Tuesday. It will be an umbrella organisation of 80 bodies, including those of senior doctors.
This organisation has called for lighting of lamps — “Paray Paray Droher Alo Jalo (lights for protest in every neighbourhood)” — across Bengal on November 4.
To mark the completion of three months of the RG Ksar tragedy, medics will hold a mass convention on Rani Rashmoni Avenue in Esplanade on November 9.
A junior doctor, reportedly, said the WBJDF will continue its movement till the time “all the perpetrators of the crime are punished and a safe working environment is established for all healthcare professionals”.
“They need to swiftly arrest all those involved in the crime and file a proper chargesheet,” he said.
