Shillong, Aug 16: The Nazareth Hospital Workers Union (NHWU) has condemned the rape and murder of the 31-year-old postgraduate trainee doctor while on duty at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata.

The NHWU conveyed its deepest condolences to the bereaved family. It also joined the medical fraternity across the country to support the protests seeking Justice for the victim.
The NHWU also urged the law enforcement agency to expedite the investigation and bring the perpetrator to justice.
“It is also important for the Government of Meghalaya and Private hospitals in Meghalaya to ensure the safety and security of every medical service provider as they are working 24/7 without any hesitation even in the middle of the night,” it said.
