The protests were prompted by the horrific rape and murder of a female medical trainee in Kolkata, highlighting the urgent need for enhanced safety protocols for healthcare professionals.
The Indian Medical Association stressed that both physical assaults and crimes against healthcare workers stem from the authorities' lack of sensitivity towards their safety needs.
During the protests, thousands across India rallied for better security and accountability, showcasing widespread support for the medical community's demand for protection in the workplace.
With the shutdown affecting elective procedures nationwide, the severity of the protests underscores the deep frustration within the medical community regarding violence and negligence.
