What Did The Supreme Court Hold Recently?
The Supreme Court of India created a National Task Force to present and recommend measures to promote and ensure women’s safety at workplaces, especially for doctors. The Apex Court ordered this after taking suo-moto cognisance of the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata.
The Court has also directed that the college be given protection by Central Reserved Paramilitary Forces (CRPF) to avoid any mishaps or incidents of violence. The Supreme Court, through the task force, created a panel of doctors and others to formulate guidelines for the safety of medical workers in the country.
