Referring to the RG Kar tragedy, where the West Bengal government had repeatedly assured safety for medical students, several doctors' associations across the nation have condemned the alleged gangrape of a second-year MBBS student near IQ City Medical College, Durgapu, on October 10.
The doctors indicated that the safety of female students and doctors in the state continues to be ignored.
In a letter to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, the Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) expressed anger, saying the brutal incident has shaken the conscience of the entire medical community and reignited the collective trauma still fresh from the R.G. Kar Medical College tragedy just a year ago.
