Tripura : Assault of Doctor in Khowai district

At Khowai District in Tripura, Dr. Tamal Sarkar was attacked in a government hospital on 3rd of December.

“We would like to inform all our members to protect themselves. We urge you to be mentally prepared while working in a government hospital. It is only then that your self-esteem will be maintained”, said All Tripura Government Doctors Association (ATGDA)

The doctor was occupied in the emergency block of Khowai District hospital.

According to reports, the patient was in a vehicle parked outside hospital premises. The family members were asked to bring the patient inside the hospital since the doctor was unable to leave the emergency block. By this reply from the doctor, the family members approached towards him with an intention of attack.

In earlier times too, many doctors were attacked in Tripura. The incident was confirmed by the Medical Superintendent, and an FIR is awaited for registration.
