Nationwide protests by junior doctors showed no signs of abating on Monday, following the alleged rape and murder of a doctor in Kolkata. The Union health ministry responded with a 25% increase in security deployment at central hospitals.

In Kolkata, senior doctors marched to police headquarters in protest of notices issued to two physicians for their comments on the trainee's murder. Healthcare services at state-run hospitals in West Bengal remained disrupted.

A symbolic protest was held outside Nirman Bhawan in the national capital, where doctors offered outpatient services. Despite discussions, the Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) stated that their strike would continue, pending further actions from the Supreme Court.
