Hello, reader. Junior doctors protesting over R G Kar murder have decided to continue their sit-in and not resume duty, despite the appointment of Manoj Kumar Verma as the new Kolkata Police chief and the removal of two senior health department officials by the state. The agitators deemed these administrative actions as only a partial victory for their movement, as stated in a press release after an hours-long general body meeting.
Additionally, the Bengal chapter of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) has urged the West Bengal Medical Council to cancel the registration of the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Sandip Ghosh, following his arrest by the CBI for alleged financial irregularities.
