Mamata Banerjee Holds Urgent Meeting with Doctors on Kolkata Rape-Murder, Vows Swift Justice and Enhanced Safety Measures

As they wait for the West Bengal administration to fulfill its commitments, doctors have not yet called off their strike.

Mamata Banerjee Holds Urgent Meeting with Doctors on Kolkata Rape-Murder, Vows Swift Justice and Enhanced Safety Measures

The majority of the demands made by annoyed junior doctors were granted by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday night. These demands included the dismissal of Vineet Goyal, the commissioner of police in Kolkata, as well as the director of medical education (DME) and director of health services (DHS). They will also remove the deputy commissioner of police (north division), who is accused of bribing the parents of the doctor who was raped and killed on August 9 inside the government-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

 

The doctors gave in on their desire to stream their meeting with Mamata Banerjee live on Monday night. It was decided by both parties to record the meeting minutes. As per the minutes of the meeting, both sides approved the allocation of ₹100 crore to construct doctor-only hospital infrastructure and reconstruct patient welfare committees. A special task team led by the chief secretary will be formed to address hospital safety and security measures.  The meeting minutes state that the home secretary, DGP, CP Kolkata, and representatives of junior doctors will be on the panel.

 

Additionally, it recorded the establishment of a "responsive and effective grievance redressal procedure" in the state's hospitals and institutions' medical infrastructure. "We fulfilled with nearly all of the doctors' requests. We tried our best, keeping in mind the plight of the common people. I immediately urge doctors to go back to their jobs," Banerjee declared. She promised that the enraged doctors would not face any disciplinary punishment. Mamata Banerjee stated that the new police commissioner's name would be revealed by the government on Tuesday after 4 p.m.

 

One of the outraged doctors' leaders, Dr. Debasish Halder, stated that they would determine their next course of action following today's Supreme Court session. Another prominent doctor, Dr. Aniket Mahato, claimed that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was not in favor of dismissing the health department's main secretary.

 

As Kolkata mourns the tragic loss and grapples with the aftermath of this heinous crime, the city is looking towards swift justice, with hopes that the measures outlined in this meeting will create a safer environment for women and vulnerable groups across the state.
