Paramedical, nursing staff threaten strike
Indore : Junior Doctors’ Association on Saturday decided to stop agitation on July 23 and take mass leave instead. This is because the JDA members will meet medical education department officials in Bhopal on July 23. If the talks fail, they will resume agitation from next day. The JDA members are agitating from July 16 to demand increase in stipend.
JDA president Dr KS Tiwari said all representatives from government medical colleges in the state will meet officials in Bhopal. “We will take decision whether to continue strike only after meeting the officials,” Dr Tiwari added. During the week-long protest, junior doctors conducted parallel OPD and checked 1,800 patients while 150 junior doctors donated blood.
