Kolkata RG Kar Case: Junior Doctors Hold Firm on Day 3 of Protest, Mass Support Grows

Junior doctors in Kolkata have entered the third consecutive day of their protest, staging a sit-in outside Swasthya Bhavan since Tuesday afternoon. Their demands for better working conditions and urgent attention from the state government remain unmet. A series of emails have been exchanged between the doctors and the government, with Nabanna, the state secretariat, requesting a meeting. However, the junior doctors have responded with counter-conditions, and the meeting has yet to materialise. Despite the ongoing stalemate, the protest has garnered widespread support from the local community. Residents of Salt Lake, along with various NGOs, local societies, and ex-students from nearby schools, have stepped in to provide food and water to the doctors. With visuals from both daylight and night, the scene highlights the continued resolve of the junior doctors and the mass support they are receiving from the public. #KolkataProtest #JuniorDoctorsStrike #RGCARProtest #SwasthyaBhavan #MedicalProtest #HealthcareReform #DoctorsOnStrike #MassSupport #SaltLakeResidents #HealthcareCrisis #NabannaMeeting #DoctorsDemandJustice #MedicalCommunity #SolidarityProtest #KolkataNews ~PR.152~HT.336~GR.344~
