Abstract

Protests erupted in Howrah district and Kolkata as thousands of demonstrators participated in the 'Nabanna Abhijan' march, demanding justice for a junior doctor who was raped and murdered at R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital. The march aimed to reach the Nabanna state Secretariat, where the West Bengal government operates. Tensions escalated as protesters attempted to break through police barricades, resulting in the use of tear gas, water cannons, and lathi-charge by the riot police. Some protesters blocked the Kona Expressway, while the main rally in Central Kolkata remained peaceful. [Extracted from the article]
