DINAJPUR, Jan 7: Doctors at Dinajpur Medical College Hospital (DnMCH) have formed a human chain protesting against an assault on a fellow doctor.
They gathered in front of the Dinajpur Press Club on Tuesday morning demanding immediate legal action against the culprits and warning of further demonstrations if no measures are taken.
Fellow doctors, alongside other colleagues, have rallied to demand legal action against the attackers and to ensure the safety of medical professionals.
Speakers at the human chain included Gynaecology specialists Professor Ishrat Sharmin and Professor Jahan Ara Begum Munni, Paediatrician Fatema Farzana, and Surgery Department Professor Abdus Salam.
Protesters have warned that they will announce new programmes if authorities fail to act promptly. One doctor said, "We will not stand by if action is not taken to protect our safety and dignity as medical professionals."
The protest stems from an incident on December 26, where Dr Arju Shamima Rahman, assistant professor and Gynaecology Surgeon, was assaulted allegedly by the husband and relatives of a patient. —UNB
