B)
Karnataka
C)
West Bengal
D)
Maharashtra

Correct Answer :   West Bengal


The West Bengal government introduced the 'Rattirer Shaathi-Helpers of Night' program aimed at safeguarding women medical professionals on night shifts.

This initiative follows the tragic RG Kar incident, where a 31-year-old doctor was brutally murdered.

The program's launch came amidst calls for Mamata Banerjee's resignation and demands for immediate safety measures, reflecting a crisis of governance in Bengal. It is considered a damage control effort by the TMC-led government in West Bengal.
