As per a notification issued by the office of the state’s additional directorate general of police (law & order) on Tuesday, police personnel who have retired in the last two years in the ranks from Inspector to Superintendents will be eligible, provided they are still physically fit and willing to get appointed for the post.

In response to recent tragic events and the Supreme Court's directive to ensure healthcare professionals' safety, the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has urged central government-run hospitals to bolster their security measures. This move comes following the rape and murder of a resident doctor at Kolkata’s R G Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9.

Federation of Resident Doctors’ Associations (FORDA) and Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) announced that they would continue their strike until the Health Ministry takes concrete action on the issue of Clinical Practice Allowance (CPA).

From suicide to sexual assault to ‘allegedly’ raped to gangraped to ‘supposedly’ gangraped and now rape again— the RG Kar incident gets entangled with each development.

While the conduct of the former principal remains in question, as far as the RG Kar's case is concerned we are yet to know who from the Kolkata Police dialled Ghosh on the night of the crime.

The apex court constitutes a 10-member task force to formulate a national protocol for ensuring safety and facilities for them in the wake of the rape and murder of a medic in Kolkata.

A bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, which had taken cognisance of the incident, said if women are not able to go to work and working conditions are not safe, we are denying them equality.

After allowing the lie-detector test, the high court deferred the hearing in the case to August 29. Additionally, attorneys practising at the Calcutta High Court staged a rally seeking punishment for the real culprits.

The report suggests that the victim was subjected to manual strangulation and smothering, which caused her death.

Besides disclosing picture and identity of the RG Kar victim, a police officer also said that the accused shared two stories against the CM that contained offensive comments and life threats to her.

The victim’s father has expressed dissatisfaction with the ongoing investigation led by the CBI and accused the entire system of being involved in the incident.

Representatives from various societies of the state has been called for an emergency meeting after Harbhajan Singh expressed deep anguish over the delay in justice.
