The brutal crime that took place on 9 August within the premises of a government hospital and educational institution remains without justice. Time has passed, calendars have changed, yet justice continues to elude us.
Although a considerable period has elapsed since the investigation began, many public questions about its progress remain unanswered. A chargesheet has been filed, but the pace of the judicial process has yet to meet the expectations of the people. In the meantime, there have been significant administrative and political changes. Governments have changed, fresh assurances of a fair investigation have been made, a new Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been announced, and senior investigating officers have been replaced. Yet one question remains unchanged:
Where is the justice?
Governments have changed. Political colours have changed. Promises have changed. What has not changed is the reality of justice delayed. For two long years, people have carried anger, grief, disappointment, and a growing sense of uncertainty. This is not merely the struggle of one family. It is a question of public safety, institutional accountability, and society’s faith in the rule of law.
With this conviction, the West Bengal Junior Doctors’ Front calls upon citizens to join a protest march on Sunday, 9 August, at 1:30 PM, from College Street to Dharmatala.
This march is not a celebration of political change. It is a collective demand for justice. It is an act of remembrance, resistance, and accountability. It is a reaffirmation that no matter how much time passes, this struggle will continue until justice is delivered.
We appeal to everyone who believes in democracy, justice, and human dignity to stand with us. Your presence will send a clear message: we have not forgotten, we have not compromised, and we will not remain silent until justice is served.
9 August is not just another date on the calendar. It is a test of our collective conscience.
Our journey will not end until justice is done.
