Kolkata: Protesting Doctors’ Indefinite Fast Enters Day 2

The expulsion comes as protests intensify over the alleged rape and murder of a junior doctor in August, a case that has sparked widespread outrage. The West Bengal Junior Doctors’ Front (WBJDF), which is leading the protests, announced a fast-unto-death. While medical services have resumed at hospitals, six junior doctors—three female and three male—have started a fast-unto-death protest, which entered its second day on Sunday.

A representative of the WBJDF said, “We have withdrawn our cease-work agitation keeping in mind the interest of the patients. But at the same time, six of us have started the hunger strike agitation to send a message to the state government of not succumbing unless our demands are fulfilled.”

The doctors have vowed to continue their protest until action is taken against those responsible for the heinous crime.
