After the murder of a junior doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College, doctors across the country are furious. Meanwhile, more than 70 doctors who have been awarded the Padma Award have written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding a separate law for the safety of health workers and doctors. They have also urged to implement better safety protocols in health facilities. The doctors suggested that strict action should be taken against those who commit verbal or physical violence against health workers. An ordinance should also be brought for this. In the letter, Padma award winners have sought immediate and personal intervention from Prime Minister Modi to deal with the worrying situation. The doctors said that such heinous acts shake the foundation of the service of medical professionals. There is an urgent need to stop violence especially against women, girls and health professionals.
