Doctor Rape-Murder Case Highlights| 'Anti-Bengal propaganda at work', says TMC; stops party leaders from media interactions
Hello Readers! As the protests in Kolkata enters its fourth week, the West Bengal Junior Doctors Front has announced a telemedicine facility called the 'Abhaya (fearless) Clinic' to help patients as healthcare services have taken a hit in the state. The agitating junior doctors treated an estimated 500 patients through the telemedicine clinic. Meanwhile, BJP said that it will continue with its sit-in protest which started on August 29 at Kolkata's Esplanade. West Bengal reported three incidents of sexual violence, two of which involved minors. These incidents led to protests and even vandalism of houses and buildings in various parts of the state. A 12-year-old girl was allegedly molested by a laboratory technician at Howrah govt hospital. The laboratory assistant has been arrested and an investigation is underway. However, Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI), the youth wing of the CPI(M), demonstrated at the hospital, demanding the resignation of the hospital superintendent. Due to these incidents, members of the opposition have demanded Mamata's resignation. On the other hand, TMC took out a press release stating they will not send their spokespersons to certain media houses due to their biases. That's all for today. Thanks for staying with us.
