KOLKATA ¨C Some junior Indian doctors remained off the job on Sunday as they demanded swift justice for a colleague who was raped and murdered, despite the end of a strike called by a big doctors¡¯ association, while some other people held street protests.
Doctors across the country have held protests, candlelight marches and refused to see non-emergency patients in the past week after the killing of the 31-year-old postgraduate student of chest medicine in the early hours of Aug. 9 in the eastern city of Kolkata.
In solidarity with the doctors, thousands of people marched in the streets of Kolkata on Sunday evening chanting ¡°we want justice,¡± as authorities in West Bengal state struggle to contain demonstrations against the horrific crime.
