Hospital in Assam retracts recommendation for female doctors to avoid being alone at night.

The Silchar Medical College and Hospital, located in Guwahati, Assam, has made an important decision to cancel their previous advisory to women doctors and staff members. The advisory, which was initially released by the Principal and Chief Superintendent, Dr. Bhaskar Gupta, had urged women to avoid traveling alone to secluded areas at night. This came after a tragic incident where a trainee doctor was raped and murdered at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata.

However, Dr. Gupta has now announced that the previous advisory has been cancelled and a new advisory will be issued soon. This decision was made after receiving feedback and demands from students who were protesting for increased security measures within the hospital. The students believed that the previous advisory was not a viable solution and instead, requested for better security measures to be implemented.

It is reassuring to see that the hospital administration is taking the concerns of their students seriously and is willing to make necessary changes. The safety and well-being of their staff, especially women, is of utmost importance and this decision to cancel the previous advisory is a step in the right direction. The new advisory that will be issued soon is expected to address the concerns raised by the students and provide a more effective solution.

The cancellation of the advisory also serves as a reminder of the importance of taking action and standing up for what is right. The protests from the students have not only led to the cancellation of the previous advisory but have also sparked a conversation about the safety of women in the workplace. This incident has shed light on the need for increased security measures and the responsibility of institutions to provide a safe environment for their employees.

In conclusion, the Silchar Medical College and Hospital has taken a positive step towards ensuring the safety of their staff by cancelling the previous advisory and addressing the concerns raised by students. It is important for institutions to prioritize the safety of their employees and take necessary measures to create a secure and inclusive environment.
