CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: In the high-profile Kolkata doctor rape-murder case, the Supreme Court has denied the request to transfer the trial outside of West Bengal, maintaining that the trial should proceed in its current jurisdiction. The plea for transfer was filed amidst concerns regarding fair trial and safety for the involved parties. However, the court observed that the judicial process would remain impartial and that appropriate security measures would be in place.
Additionally, the National Task Force (NTF) has recently submitted a report on safety protocols for medical professionals, highlighting the urgent need for better protection measures in hospitals and healthcare settings. This report emphasizes strengthening the overall security framework for doctors, including emergency protocols, on-site security personnel, and real-time monitoring systems, especially in high-risk situations.
The doctor’s tragic case has led to widespread concerns across the medical community, with calls for reforms and improved security standards to safeguard healthcare professionals. Medical associations and rights advocates argue that enhanced safety measures are essential for a secure working environment in healthcare institutions. The NTF’s recommendations are now under review by policymakers for potential implementation nationwide.
