Nurses at Lok Nayak Jai Parkash Civil Hospital in Kurukshetra held a two-hour pen-down strike protesting remarks by Haryana State Commission for Women chairperson Renu Bhatia. The protest followed Bhatia's visit after a 15-year-old girl's sexual assault by a retired consultant doctor reengaged at the hospital. Nurses said Bhatia blamed them for negligence and possible collusion without proper investigation, demanding an apology. Hospital officials acknowledged the incident and ongoing inquiries.
