OPINION | Inhuman working conditions for doctors: Challenge for the task force

India TV News  

The pain of the medical fraternity over the gruesome rape-murder of a medic in a Kolkata hospital resonated in the Supreme Court on Tuesday. The court’s observations over laxity on the part of Kolkata Police clearly reflected the anger that has been visible among the agitating doctors. Supreme Court has clearly said that the Kolkata crime should not be seen as an isolated case, because the crime revealed the real working conditions of doctors. It is true that had the doctors not raised their voices of protests in the streets across India, the attention of the court and government would not have gone to their abysmal and inhuman working conditions. Aaj Ki Baat: Monday to Friday, 9:00 pm India's Number One and most followed Super Prime Time News Show 'Aaj Ki Baat- Rajat Sharma Ke Saath' was launched just before the 2014 General Elections.
