Protests have spread across the country in response to the alleged abuse and murder of a trainee female doctor at RG Kar Medical College, Kolkata. The central government has raised its alert level, prompting the Union Home Ministry to implement stricter regulations.
Under these new rules, all states must update the Union Home Ministry on law and order situations every 2 hours. State governments are now required to send detailed reports about conditions in their regions directly to the ministry. These measures aim to address the escalating unrest and manage the gravity of the situation effectively.
