Junior doctors and interns at a government hospital in Kolkata have accused senior doctors of threatening them after they raised concerns about a recent stampede incident and the overall state of hospital facilities. The interns allege that they are facing intimidation and pressure to remain silent about their concerns. They claim that the hospital lacks adequate resources and that patients are often referred to private hospitals, leading to potential safety risks. Senior doctors, however, have come out in support of the interns, stating that they are victims of a witch hunt for speaking out against perceived shortcomings in the hospital system.
