In a powerful display of unity and defiance, thousands of women across West Bengal marched on Wednesday midnight as part of the "Reclaim the Night" campaign, demanding justice for a doctor who was allegedly raped and murdered at a hospital here last month. As the clock struck 9 pm, Kolkata witnessed a unique and stirring act of civic solidarity with residents turning off their lights for an hour, and descending onto the streets with candles in hand.
The darkened city, illuminated only by the flickering flames, mourned the tragic death of the doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital while expressing steadfast support for her grieving family. The "Reclaim the Night" movement, largely driven by social media, gained momentum as protests kicked off at 11:30 pm, marking the second such gathering since a midnight campaign on August 14.
