After backlash, Assam hospital pulls back advisory asking women doctors to avoid isolated places at night

“Female doctors, students, and staff should generally avoid isolated, poorly lit, and sparsely populated areas. They should, as much as possible, avoid situations where they are alone,” the advisory stated.Female students, the advisory added, must refrain from leaving the hostel or lodging rooms during nighttime hours unless absolutely necessary and should step out only after informing the authorities.”Avoid going off-campus during late or odd hours. All hostel residents should abide by the hostel norms and regulations set by the institute and administration. Be cautious and avoid associating with individuals who appear unfamiliar or suspicious,” the advisory said.
