Central protection act: Urgency or emergency in India?

Very recently, another history was made with one of the most gruesome crimes Indians and the world could ever imagine. A 31-year-old doctor was sexually assaulted and murdered in RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata, West Bengal. Why, being a healthcare professional, are we facing this frequent workplace violence? We don’t have the right to feel safe and secure in our workplace. There have been multiple acts and provisions for the safeguarding of healthcare professionals. The matter of concern is whether these provisions implemented are working or are just feeble and defenceless. Is this growing violence against healthcare professionals just a State Government issue, or do we need an amendment to a centralized established act for uniformity and justice?

Abstract

Very recently, another history was made with one of the most gruesome crimes Indians and the world could ever imagine. A 31-year-old doctor was sexually assaulted and murdered in RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata, West Bengal. Why, being a healthcare professional, are we facing this frequent workplace violence? We don’t have the right to feel safe and secure in our workplace. There have been multiple acts and provisions for the safeguarding of healthcare professionals. The matter of concern is whether these provisions implemented are working or are just feeble and defenceless. Is this growing violence against healthcare professionals just a State Government issue, or do we need an amendment to a centralized established act for uniformity and justice?
