WB CM Mamata didi has given an ultimatum to the police that the murder and rape case would be handed over to CBI if it was not resolved. The doctors are demanding for laws to give them enough security.No safety- no duty the doctors are saying to the Government.
The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has shot off a letter to Health Minister Nadda, demanding the enactment of a central law to curb attacks and violence against doctors as a “deterrence” measure and declaration of hospitals as safe zones.
The Association has said 25 states have laws to prevent attacks on doctors, but these are mostly ineffective on the ground. “The absence of a special central enactment is one of the reasons,” it has said.
A civic volunteer who frequented the hospital has been arrested in connection with the rape and murder of the Kolkata doctor. West Bengal Chief Minister has given city police time till Sunday to complete the probe, after which the state government will recommend a CBI investigation.
