The West Bengal government transferred the new principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Dr. Surhita Pal, Medical Superintendent Dr. Bulbul Mukhopadhyay and HoD of Chest Department Arunabha Dutta late on August 21.
The doctors, who have been protesting for the last 11 days regarding the rape-murder case, had demanded the removal of all these officers.
