Reports of attacks on doctors and healthcare workers have come in from several places across the country in recent weeks. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged people against harassing doctors and healthcare workers calling them incarnations of God in this hour of crisis and warned of police action if anyone mistreats them.
