Kolkata: In a major development in the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape-murder case, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee has invited a delegation of junior doctors for a meeting at her residence at 5 pm on Monday (today).

A letter has been sent to the junior doctors stating, "This is the fifth and final time we are reaching out to you for a meeting between the Honourable Chief Minister and your delegates. In line with our discussion from the day before, we are once again inviting you to a meeting with the Honourable Chief Minister at her Kalighat residence for a discussion with an open mind."

Demand Made By The Doctors

However, the doctors have been demanding the live streaming of the meeting.

"We demanded the live streaming to let the public know about what was happening inside the meeting. We don't know what their problem is... We demand live streaming of the meeting...Our five demands are very justified...The public is supporting us because we are apolitical and we have not bent down to the pressures of the government...We are ready to compromise, but if they don't listen to our demands, then there is no point in calling us for a meeting," said a protesting doctor.

As the junior doctors continue their protest at Swasthya Bhawan, in the Salt Lake area, Tala Police Station incharge Abhijit Mondal has been taken for medical examination from the CBI Office in Kolkata.

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said on September 13 that as many as 29 people had lost their lives as a result of the disruption in health services.

CM Banerjee stated that to extend a helping hand to the bereaved families, the state government announced a token financial relief of Rs 2 lakh to family members of each deceased person.
