Hyderabad Pandal Shows Support for Kolkata Rape and Murder Victim
A pandal has been set up by the Risala Youth Association in Hyderabad, Telangana, to show solidarity against the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata.
A visitor named Payal from Bengaluru said, “Seeing this statue is mind-blowing. This is incredible. It promotes awareness. Not only girls but also the boys should also learn from such incidences.”
Pandal organizer Gopi Yadav mentioned, “We set up pandals in different styles for 30 years. This time it is inspired by the Kolkata rape case. We need to respect women.”
Meanwhile, junior doctors in Kolkata continued their protests on Friday near Swasthya Bhawan in the Salt Lake Area, demanding justice for the victim.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee urged the protesting doctors to return to work, stating, “I am ready to resign from the Chief Minister of West Bengal. I am not concerned about the post. I want justice for the victim. I am only concerned about ordinary people getting medical service.” She assured that no action would be taken against the protesting doctors.
The second-year postgraduate medical student was raped and murdered inside the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College on August 9.
