However, some doctors' associations expressed dissatisfaction with the composition of the task force. "We don't understand the basis for selecting the task force members. There should have been representation from resident doctors, which is what we have been advocating for. "Additionally, there should be representation from professors of government medical colleges as acts of violence are predominantly observed in government hospitals, not in private facilities," an official of the doctors' body said. Meanwhile, the Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) has moved the Supreme Court seeking interim protection for doctors till the recommendations of the NTF are implemented. Seeking intervention in the ongoing proceedings before the apex court, the plea contended that doctors have often been subjected to alleged instances of violence and threats to their safety and security. "It is of utmost importance that there is adequate representation from resident doctors since they are experiencing real-time problems on a routine basis and may be in a position to offer a real-time solution to these problems. "Involvement of resident doctors will ensure that comprehensive guidelines are formed after holistic discussion with all stakeholders," the plea said while also seeking implementation of the Central Protection Act for the safety and security of the doctors. The plea has sought the installation of <keyword id="19997866" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="CCTV-cameras" source="keywords">CCTV cameras</keyword> in all sensitive areas, including hospital and hostel entrance and exit gates and the corridor areas.
