Protests in West Bengal, ignited by junior doctors, escalate as calls for justice grow louder amid state government inaction in the rape and murder case.

The protests in West Bengal, initially sparked by junior doctors demanding justice, have escalated into a widespread agitation involving people from all walks of life. With civilians leading the movement, the incident has garnered national attention. Earlier last week, even school students took to the streets, demanding justice and safety for women, a pressing concern in a state governed by a female chief minister.

Nearly three weeks have passed, yet the West Bengal government, led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, has taken no concrete action on the rape-andmurder case that took place at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on 9 August. The incident has raised serious concerns about women's safety in the state and cast doubt on the effectiveness of the state's law and order set-up. The situation in Bengal has become so alarming that even the President Droupadi Murmu has expressed her concern. Earlier last week, President Murmu reacted to the brutal crime against the female doctor, declaring "enough is enough."

She called on the nation to challenge the mindset that views women as less capable, and pointed out that this incident is part of a troubling pattern of crimes against women across the country.
