The government has requested that states give an update on the situation every 2 hours due to the ongoing protests by doctors.

Recently, the Union Home Ministry has requested all state police forces to provide updates every two hours regarding the ongoing protests by doctors, nursing staff, and others. These protests stem from the alleged rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, which has sparked outrage and concern.

In a letter addressed to the state police forces, the home ministry emphasized the need to closely monitor the law and order situations in all states, given the ongoing protests. They have requested for a continuous two-hourly report to be sent to the MHA control room via Fax, Email, or WhatsApp, starting from 4 pm on Friday.

The incident in question took place on August 9, when a postgraduate trainee doctor was reportedly raped and murdered while on duty at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. The next day, a civic volunteer of the Kolkata Police was arrested in connection with the crime. Following this, the Calcutta High Court transferred the case to the CBI on Tuesday.

During a protest by women against the rape and murder, a group of people entered the hospital premises in the early hours of Wednesday and caused damage to parts of the medical facility. This has only added to the tension and chaos surrounding the situation.

As a result of these events, doctors and other medical staff have taken to the streets, protesting in different parts of the country. This has adversely affected the functioning of healthcare facilities. Their main demands include a central law to prevent violence against healthcare personnel, declaring hospitals as safe zones with mandatory security measures, and other important reforms.

The situation remains tense and uncertain as the protests continue. The Home Ministry has urged all state police forces to remain vigilant and provide timely updates to ensure the safety and security of all citizens. The government is taking necessary steps to address the concerns raised by the medical community and bring about a resolution to this crisis.
