Saddened to witness rising violence against doctors, says CJI Ramana
Chief Justice of India N V Ramana on Saturday said he was "extremely saddened to witness rising violence against doctors". During the pandemic more than 1,500 doctors have selflessly sacrificed their lives, but still cases of violence against the doctors are increasing every day.
Speaking at a book release in New Delhi, the CJI pointed out that "several false cases are being lodged against upright and hardworking doctors" and that "they need a better and more secure working environment". He said that "this is where professional medical associations assume great significance" and advised them "to be proactive in highlighting the demands".
