Supreme Court
New Delhi: Another written order of the Supreme Court has come out in the Kolkata rape-murder case. In this order, the Supreme Court has appealed to doctors across the country to return to work. The Supreme Court has assured those working in the medical profession that the court is considering their concerns. Their safety is a matter of national priority.
It is important to create a safe environment for doctors and interns
The Supreme Court has been told that there are 700 resident doctors in RG Kar Medical College but after the attack on the hospital on the night of 14th and 15th August, most of the resident doctors have left their jobs. Due to this, only 30 to 40 female doctors and 60 to 70 male doctors are left in the hospital.
It is important to create a safe environment for doctors and interns in the hospital so that resident doctors can return to work, so that they can not only contribute to studies, but also treat patients. SG Tushar Mehta has assured the court that CISF/CRPF will be deployed in RG Kar Hospital. The West Bengal government has not objected to this.
The Supreme Court has expressed hope that with the deployment of central security forces in the hospital, the doctors will return to duty as soon as possible. If the doctors have any apprehensions about their security, they can inform the Supreme Court about their concerns by sending an email to the Judicial Registrar.
