Shillong, Aug 16: The Nazareth Hospital Workers Union (NHWU) has condemned the rape and murder of the 31-year-old postgraduate trainee doctor while on duty at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata.
The union also brought to light the importance of ensuring safety and security of every medical service provider in Meghalaya and also urged the state government to ensure their safety “as they are working 24/7 without any hesitation even in the middle of the night.”
The workers body also called upon all members and medical fraternity in the state to join hands and send out a strong message that such barbaric acts have no place in modern society.
Conveying condolences to the bereaved family of the Kolkata trainee doctor, the union said it stands in solidarity with their fight for justice.
Condemning the act, the union said, “This is the most despicable act against humanity and also it is painful to see that medical service providers are often subjected to harassment of different kinds and are also prone to violence.”
The NHWU also demanded that the investigation be expedited as soon as possible to bring the perpetrator to justice.
