Doctors stage protests over Chennai stabbing in Krishnagiri

Doctors from the Tamil Nadu Government Doctors Association and the Federation of Government Doctors Association held protests on Wednesday at the Krishnagiri Government Medical College Hospital and the Hosur Government Hospital.

In response to rising incidents of violence against doctors, the protesters demanded stringent action against offenders, enhanced security within hospitals, and legislative protections for doctors. They also appealed to the public to maintain trust and respect for the medical profession.
