DOCS KNOCK AT PREZ AND PM'S DOOR

A copy of the letter from the West Bengal Junior Doctors' Front has also been sent to the BJP national president and Union Health Minister JP Nadda. "Your intervention in these trying times will act as a beacon of light to us all, showing us the way ahead out of the darkness...

The horrific crime and the alleged attempt to cover it and the ensuing climate of fear had awakened the nation. We demand an impartial investigation and prompt, fair and rational trial,” reads the letter.

The doctors also underscored that they are averse to resuming their duties due to the climate of fear.
