Mamata Banerjee KOLKATA: CM Mamata Banerjee, who supported the agitating doctors and felt their anger was justified, said: "Losing a colleague affects everyone. Even I have two junior doctors in my family. I will always be with them (doctors). If needed, I will send the state health secretary and the commissioner of police to the hospital again. They too can approach any other law enforcement agency if they do not have faith in the state administration."
The CM felt there should be "proper vigilance" on hospital campuses."Just as we (the govt) have a responsibility, the hospital's superintendent too has a responsibility. We will probe if there was negligence on any part," she promised, adding that RG Kar could do with more area. "I will see if the tram depot (next door) can be used," she said.
