The resident doctors at Delhi AIIMS will hold a candle march on October 9, reiterating their demand for justice for the victim of rape and murder at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
In a release, the Resident Doctors’ Association (RDA) of AIIMS Delhi expressed solidarity with the resident doctors of West Bengal, who have announced a hunger strike.
They demanded swift and decisive legal action against those responsible in the matter.
The candle march is scheduled to start from JLN Auditorium in Delhi at around 6 PM on October 9.
Earlier on Friday, the protesting doctors of RG Kar Hospital issued the Bengal state government a 24-hour ultimatum to meet their demands, warning that they would begin an indefinite hunger strike if their demands are not met.
