New Delhi/IBNS: Amid nationwide protests and outrage over a trainee doctor's rape and murder in Kolkata's RG Kar College and Hospital during her night duty hours, the Ministry of Home Affairs has directed all states to submit reports on law and order situation every two hours.

As per the notification, the Home Ministry has directed all state police forces of the country to send reports every two hours via mail, fax, or even WhatsApp.

"Regarding two hourly law and order situation reports. The competent authority has desired to monitor the law and order situation report of your state/UT against the murder of a trainee woman doctor in RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, West Bengal. Henceforth, a continuous two-hourly law and order situation report in this regard may kindly be sent to the MHA control room by fax/e-mail/WhatsApp from 4 pm today (16/08/24)," the MHA stated.

Meanwhile, in Bengal, the Kolkata Police on Saturday issued a prohibitory order under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) for seven days in and around RG Kar Hospital due to ongoing protests over the gruesome incident.

The order also extends to the surrounding roads for the same duration.

This measure is intended to prevent any breaches of peace and disturbances to public tranquility in the city.

During this period, no gatherings, protests, or rallies will be permitted in and around RG Kar Hospital.

The 31-year-old postgraduate trainee doctor was found brutally murdered at the seminar hall of the government-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9.
