After 24 hours of protest, junior doctors in Kolkata were allowed to march from BB Ganguly Street to Bentinck Street on Tuesday. The police had previously blocked their passage as they marched towards the Kolkata Police Headquarters in Lalbazar, demanding the resignation of Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal. A strong police contingent created a human chain at the Bentinck Street crossing, where the doctors were kept. However, senior police officers agreed to accompany a few protesting doctors to Lalbazar for a potential meeting with the commissioner, reported PTI.
"It will be a peaceful rally and we will march together till Bentinck Street. Our representatives will arrive at Lalbazar to meet the CP," one of the agitating doctors told PTI.
