104-yr old man released from Bengal jail after spending 36-years in jail
Kolkata: A 104-year-old man released from West Bengal's Malda Correctional Home after languishing in jail for 36 years said he will spend time with his family members and do gardening. Rasikt Mondal had been sentenced to judicial custody 36 years back in 1988 on the charge of murdering his brother in a land dispute case. He had been enlarged on bail for about one year in between but again went back to the prison once the bail period was over and the session and high court turned down his pleas for release on past occasions. Mondal, a resident of Manikchak in Malda district, told reporters emerging out of the gate of Malda Correctional Home on Tuesday that he will now devote full time to gardening/nurturing plants and spending time with family members. Asked how old was he Mondal mumbled 108 years but his son, accompanying him, corrected he was 104. Correctional home authorities said records showed he was 104. I don't remember how many years I had spent in jail. It seemed never-ending. I don't even recall when I was brought here, the elderly man, looking remarkably agile considering his age, said. However, he added ow I have come out I can do justice to my passion - attending plants in the small garden in my courtyard. I missed my family and grandchildren. Want to be with them. Mondal's son said his father was released following an order of the Supreme Court. After certain years, every prisoner is entitled to release from prison if he has not committed any improper act during incarceration. Happy the SC finally paved the way for his release, the son said. Correctional Home department officials said his was one of the very few cases of centurion inmates incarcerated in jails in the state.

RG Kar stir: Junior doctors' hunger strike enters ninth day, others on 'symbolic fast'
KOLKATA: The hunger strike by junior doctors of West Bengal to press for their demands following the RG Kar hospital incident entered the ninth day on Sunday, when people are holding a symbolic fast at various parts of the state to express solidarity with the agitators. Three of the junior doctors who were observing fast unto death in Kolkata and Siliguri city in the northern part of the state have so far been hospitalised after their condition deteriorated. Their conditions are worsening but the state administration remains unmoved, a leader of the agitating Junior Doctors Forum said. Meanwhile, a group of former students of R G Kar hospital have reached the medical establishment for a symbolic fasting of 12 hours to express solidarity with the students on hunger strike. However, they faced resistance from the CISF personnel who were on security duty at the hospital following a court order. The ex-students, most of whom are senior citizens, said they will go ahead with their proposed symbolic fast programme, come what may. Several people are also observing the symblic fast during the day in Malda and Murshidabad districts. The agitating doctors have urged people to observe Arandhan (no cooking) on Sunday to show solidarity and support for their cause. A large number of common people visited the venue of the hunger strike during the past few days when the Durga Puja festivities were on. The junior doctors have been demanding justice for the RG Kar hospital victim, immediate removal of Health Secretary N S Nigam, workplace security and other measures. Their other demands include the establishment of a centralised referral system for all hospitals and medical colleges in the state, the implementation of a bed vacancy monitoring system, and the formation of task forces to ensure essential provisions for CCTV, on-call rooms, and washrooms at their workplaces. The hunger strike from October 5 followed nearly 50 days of cease work' in two phases. Their agitation began after an on-duty postgraduate trainee was allegedly raped and murdered inside state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9. While one person was arrested by the Kolkata Police the next day, the CBI is now investigating the case on a Calcutta High Court order. On Friday, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) urged West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to intervene before the situation escalates. Doctors of private hospitals called for a 48-hour partial cease work from October 14 in medical establishments across West Bengal, in solidarity with the agitating junior medics observing a fast-unto-death. The doctors, under the banner of Healthcare Professionals of Private Hospitals, however, said emergency services in all medical facilities will remain operational. The Joint Platform of Doctors, West Bengal, has also called for a protest carnival' on October 15 at Esplanade. The date coincides with the West Bengal government-organised carnival on Red Road, situated nearby, where prominent Durga Puja idols and decorations are showcased through processions and cultural events. The ongoing agitation also prompted the Federation of All India Medical Associations (FAIMA) to warn of a nationwide complete shutdown of medical services if any harm is caused to the protesting junior doctors.

However, they faced resistance from the CISF personnel who were on security duty at the hospital following a court order. The ex-students, most of whom are senior citizens, said they will go ahead with their proposed symbolic fast programme, come what may. Several people are also observing the symblic fast during the day in Malda and Murshidabad district. The agitating doctors have urged people to observe Arandhan (no cooking) on Sunday to show solidarity and support for their cause. A large number of common people visited the venue of the hunger strike during the past few days when the Durga Puja festivities were on. The junior doctors have been demanding justice for the RG Kar hospital victim, immediate removal of Health Secretary N S Nigam, workplace security and other measures. Their other demands include the establishment of a centralised referral system for all hospitals and medical colleges in the state, the implementation of a bed vacancy monitoring system, and formation of task forces to ensure essential provisions for CCTV, on-call rooms, and washrooms at their workplaces. The hunger strike from October 5 followed nearly 50 days of 'cease work' in two phases. Their agitation began after an on-duty postgraduate trainee was allegedly raped and murdered inside state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9. While one person was arrested by the Kolkata Police the next day, the CBI is now investigating the case on a Calcutta High Court order. On Friday, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) urged West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to intervene before the situation escalates. Doctors of private hospitals called for a 48-hour 'partial cease work' from October 14 in medical establishments across West Bengal, in solidarity with the agitating junior medics observing a fast-unto-death. The doctors, under the banner of Healthcare Professionals of Private Hospitals, however, said emergency services in all medical facilities will remain operational. The Joint Platform of Doctors, West Bengal, has also called for a 'protest carnival' on October 15 at Esplanade. The date coincides with the West Bengal government-organised carnival on Red Road, situated nearby, where prominent Durga Puja idols and decorations are showcased through processions and cultural events. The ongoing agitation also prompted the Federation of All India Medical Associations (FAIMA) to warn of a nationwide complete shutdown of medical services if any harm is caused to the protesting junior doctors.
