Assam’s Silchar Medical School and Hospital (SMCH) confronted a backlash after it issued an advisory asking girls docs, college students and employees to keep away from touring to abandoned, dimly lit and sparsely populated areas at evening. The advisory comes amid nationwide outrage over the rape and homicide of a trainee physician at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical School and Hospital.
“Feminine docs, feminine college students and employees ought to keep away from being alone as a lot as potential. Keep away from going out of dormitories or lodging rooms at evening except completely needed, and inform the related departments prematurely,” mentioned Dr. Bhaskar Gupta, director of the institute.
