Suspense Crime Sach Ka Dam
New Delhi: Several Indian doctors living in Bangladesh have decided to stay back in violence-hit Dhaka to fulfill their duty of saving lives even as their parents are worried about their safety. Several Indian doctors present in Bangladesh said many hospitals in Dhaka are short of resources and doctors are overburdened due to the sudden surge in casualties. They told PTI that they are driven by a “sense of duty” and have decided to help deal with the current crisis.
there is a shortage of resources
“We are getting many patients with shrapnel, bullet, and stab wounds. The number of casualties has increased after the latest clashes between protesters and police. There is a huge shortage of resources and we are working 17 to 18 hours a day,” a Srinagar-based doctor attached to a hospital in old Dhaka said over the phone.
The hospitals need us
On Monday, hours after Sheikh Hasina resigned as prime minister and fled the country, Bangladesh plunged into chaos, leading to violence that has killed more than 100 people. Another doctor from Gujarat said, “Our parents are worried about our safety, but we took an oath to protect people’s lives when we completed our degrees. We must serve them and the hospitals need us in these difficult times.”
conditions have improved
However, doctors said the situation had improved after the curfew was lifted on Tuesday morning and shops, businesses, and other establishments gradually reopened. “In the current situation, there is no threat to foreign nationals. I feel completely safe. The clashes are between protesters and political organizations. People who are not part of the protests like me have no security concerns. There was no law and order situation till Monday. However, the situation improved on Tuesday. We are seeing people on the streets and businesses resuming their work,” said a doctor from Jammu and Kashmir and president of the Indian Medical Students’ Association in Bangladesh. (PTI)
