Organisers of the August 14 Reclaim the Night protest in Calcutta have given another call — to Reclaim the Night on September 8, the night before the next scheduled hearing of the RG Kar rape-murder case in the Supreme Court.

The demonstration on September 8 is also timed for one month after the crime at the government medical college and hospital on August 9.

The organisers, including Rimjhim Sinha, Rubaiya Mondal, Torsha Chatterjee, Anushka Das, Anushna Das, Tapati Soren and Sumnima Tamang Saha said they have formed an advisory panel that will shape their demands.

Actor-director Aparna Sen, academics Dipesh Chakrabarti and Nivedita Menon, economist Jean Dreze, advocates Vrinda Grover and Parthasarathi Sengupta are in the advisory panel.

The organisers have outlined certain additional demands, which cover women’s safety issues across different regions in the state.

These include a night bathroom for women in Nagerbazar, round the night transport services and bathrooms in Dankuni, security on the late night Canning Local, and a women’s police station at Ariadaha.

“We have selected our advisers because they have no political affiliation,” Sumnima Tamang Saha told The Telegraph Online.

Nivedita Menon, one of those named as being an advisor, said that she was not aware that she was part of a formal panel. However, she had seen the proposed policy framework and thinks it is rooted in feminist principles. "They had sought feedback, and I believe this anti-patriarchal framework can make a difference for women’s safety in general" she said while speaking to The Telegraph Online from Delhi, adding that it ensures freedom for women without imposing surveillance on them.

The first Reclaim the Night on August 14 had drawn hundreds of thousands of ordinary people to the streets of Calcutta in a protest that was extraordinary even for a city that used to have the reputation of being the city of protests.

On the same night, in full view of television cameras, a mob of goons had broken into the RG kar Medical College and Hospital and smashed up parts of the hospital which was the scene of the crime that has shocked Calcutta and the country.

Since then, Calcutta and Bengal have been simmering with protests. Justice for RG Kar has become a rallying cry.
