The appeal follows an assault on a senior doctor of Dikom tea estate, Dibrugarh, after the death of a woman worker in the tea estate on May 6 and aims to prevent a repeat. The association’s members in Assam also staged a statewide protest on Saturday against the incident. IMA Assam branch secretary Hemanga Baishya said it had requested Dispur to ensure proper display of salient features of the act in government and private health care centres through posters. IMA members on Saturday said other forms of mass media should also be used to publicise the act to check the rising attack on doctors and hospitals. The agitating doctors also demanded installation of CCTV cameras in all tea garden hospitals.
