An association of doctors has written to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, urging her to address grievances of junior medics who have been protesting over the alleged rape and murder of their colleague at the state-run RG Kar hospital here.

The Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA), in a statement issued on Thursday, has said that it would declare a nationwide “complete shutdown of medical services” in case “any harm befalls brave junior doctors” who have been on fast unto death at Kolkata’s Esplanade area.
