Indefinite stir over Kolkata doctor rape case: Doctors continue protests, demand workplace safety

​A doctor involved in the demonstration felt that now was the moment to take to the streets to seek justice, which they hadn't received within the hospital walls. The doctor mentioned that numerous incidents had gone unreported in the past and that the strike would persist until the doctors' demand for a central law to protect health workers was met. The doctor emphasised, however, that patient care remained a priority, which is why emergency services continued to function.
