A protest took place on Saturday at the old bus stand in Gadwal district. The protest was led by former ZP TC Basu Shyamala and Hanumanthu Naidu, along with college students. The reason for the protest was a tragic incident that happened five days ago in Kolkata, where a female doctor named Mounita Debnath was raped and murdered.
During the protest, Basu Shyamala spoke to the gathered crowd. She expressed deep concern that even after 78 years of independence, women in India are still not safe. She highlighted that even doctors, who are responsible for saving lives, are not safe at their workplaces. Shyamala questioned the state of the country, asking if this is what independence really means when such crimes happen to doctors on duty.
Shyamala also demanded that the protection given to police, lawyers, and government officers during their work should be extended to government doctors as well. In addition, she called for the release of the post-mortem report of the victim, Mounita Debnath.
The protest was attended by various leaders, party workers, and college students. Some of the participants included Geetha, Sunitha, Pavani, Srilakha, Archana, Maju, Rahmad, Vishnu, Gangadhar, Rehan, Jilani, Ram Charan, Gopi, Kamesh, and others.
