RG Kar Case: Over 75 senior doctors at Kalyani JNM Hospital threaten mass resignation
Kolkata: Over 75 senior doctors at Kalyani JNM Hospital in West Bengal have threatened to resign en masse in support of junior doctors who are on a fast-unto-death to demand justice for the female postgraduate trainee doctor who was raped and murdered at RG Kar Medical College Hospital.
In an email to the Registrar of West Bengal Health University, a total of 77 doctors announced their intention to cease work starting October 14.
According to the PTI report, they cited "mental devastation" and "inability to work in the current state of mind" among the reasons behind the move.
In their communication, the doctors said they stand in solidarity with the junior medics on a fast-unto-death, whose health is deteriorating. They also expressed concern over the "apparent lack of visible effort from the state government to resolve the issue".
