The Chief Justice of India (CJI) N.V. Ramana on Saturday expressed deep concern over the rising number of attacks faced by doctors and medical professionals in the line of duty.

“I am extremely saddened to witness rising violence against doctors. Several false cases are being lodged against upright and hardworking doctors. They need a better and more secure working environment,” Chief Justice Ramana said at a book launch in the national capital.

The CJI said pro-active measures to protect doctors from violence while doing their duty was the need of the hour.
