Medical strike across India: Staff protest against rape and murder of trainee Hundreds of thousands of Indian health workers and their supporters have launched a nationwide strike to protest against the rape and murder of a trainee doctor last week at a government hospital in the eastern city of Kolkata. “We just want to be safe while we are doing our duty,” said Sapna Rani, a 27-year-old woman doctor in the capital, New Delhi, who took part in the strike.

Akanksha Tyagi, a 27-year-old gynaecologist at a state-run hospital in New Delhi said it was “deplorable” that “it took the life of a doctor” for people to take notice.
