"Don't Roam At Odd Hours; Avoid Isolated Places": Assam Hospital To Women Doctors
Days after a 31-year-old doctor was raped and murdered at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, a state-run medical college in Assam has issued an advisory for women doctors and students, asking them to "avoid situations where they are alone". It also asks them to "graciously interact with the public, so that you don't attract unnecessary attention of unscrupulous people".
The Silchar Medical College and Hospital's advisory has drawn strong criticism, with many on social media tagging it "misogynistic" and saying that the college administration should focus on ensuring safety of women on campus instead of listing dos and don'ts.
