Thousands of women from all backgrounds in West Bengal are planning a demonstration on Wednesday at midnight to show their outrage over the Kolkata doctor rape-murder case. Women, including college students, homemakers, and office workers, will gather in important areas around the state in response to the "Women, Reclaim the Night" social media campaign that was sparked by the Kolkata doctor rape-murder case. Protests will take place in both small villages and large cities, including numerous sections of Kolkata, reported PTI. 

According to the PTI report, the protests, which are planned to begin at 11:55 pm, will coincide with the nation`s Independence Day at the stroke of midnight. The organisers have said that no political party flags would be allowed at the rallies, but groups representing minority communities, such as LGBTQIA+ organisations, will be welcome to attend with their flags.
