RG Kar: Junior doctors march to Swasthya Bhavan with demands after Supreme Court's deadline to resume work

Kolkata/IBNS: West Bengal junior doctors, who are on ceasework demanding justice for the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, are marching to the administrative building of state's Health and Family Welfare, Swasthya Bhavan in Salt Lake area.


The march is held a day after the Supreme Court asked the junior doctors to resume work by 5 pm, post which the state government will not be restrained from taking action against the protesters.

In a counter, the junior doctors demanded the resignations of a few state health officials, Commissioner of Police Vineet Goyal and justice for the victim.

The junior doctors said they will resume work only when the demands are met.

In the Supreme Court hearing on Monday, the advocate representing the junior doctors claimed the protesters are not confident to resume work over the threats they are still receiving.

Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud said no action will be taken against the junior doctors if they resume work by 5 pm on Tuesday.

The CJI said the court will not be able to restrain the state government from taking action if the junior doctors continue with their protests.

"We can record that if doctors resume to work, no adverse action but if they do not resume work as doctors then we cannot restrain state govt from taking actions," he said.

The state's counsel, advocate Kapil Sibal claimed in the hearing that 23 patients have died due to the junior doctors' ceasework.

In the previous hearing held last month, the CJI had urged the junior doctors to resume work restraining the government from any action against them.
