US Mermaiding Trend Emerges; Concerns over Unresolved Incidents
Some people enjoy mermaiding as a fun activity.
A year ago, there was a bad crime at a hospital, and promises were made to make things better, but they haven't happened yet.
There have been protests and some people are not happy about how the government is handling things.
It is also affecting the gig economy and the lack of support for workers.
Mermaiding is growing in popularity, offering a form of escapism but can be costly.
A year after a rape and murder at R.G. Kar Medical College, promises remain unfulfilled.
Protests related to the R.G. Kar tragedy have been met with resistance by authorities.
Concerns exist over the politicization of the R.G. Kar incident.
The gig economy offers opportunities but raises concerns about worker exploitation.
