Kolkata: Under fire after the rape-murder of a 31-year-old doctor in Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, the West Bengal government has made a string of changes in top posts in the hospital’s administration, as demanded by protesting medicos

Professor Dr Suhrita Paul, who was appointed principal of the medical college after its former head Dr Sandip Ghosh stepped down in the wake of the incident, has been removed. Professor Dr Manas Kumar Bandopadhyay is the new principal.

Dr Paul has now been appointed principal of Barasat Government Medical College and Hospital, according to the notification issued by the state government’s health department. Earlier, Dr Manas Kumar Bandopadhyay held this post.

The medical superintendent of RG Kar Medical College, Professor Dr Bulbul Mukhopadhyay, has also been removed. Professor Dr Saptarshi Chatterjee has been appointed to the post.

The state government has removed Professor Dr Arunabha Dutta Chaudhuri, who was heading the department of chest medicine in RG Kar Medical College. The victim was a postgraduate trainee in this department.

The changes were made after students and senior doctors led a protest march from the CBI office in Kolkata to Swasthya Bhawan, the headquarters of the state health department, yesterday. A delegation of doctors met top officials there and made several demands, including removal of the principal.

The state government has also cancelled the appointment of Dr Sandip Ghosh, former principal of RG Kar Medical College, as head of Calcutta National Medical College and Hospital — this move was strongly criticised by courts and left the state government red-faced.
