Two Years After RG Kar Rape-Murder, Justice and Safety Measures Remain Incomplete
Two years after the rape and murder of a woman doctor at RG Kar Medical College, investigations by the Central Bureau of Investigation continue without a conclusive breakthrough. While security at the hospital has improved with the deployment of central forces and better accessibility to medical services, concerns remain about the slow pace of justice and incomplete implementation of safety measures for women. Allegations persist regarding ineffective CCTV and panic button systems and a culture of intimidation in health institutions.
