Jammu, Oct 24: Reacting to the Jammu and Kashmir Government's decision of suspending 27 doctors and reverting back eleven assistant surgeons back from medical education to the health department, hundreds of doctors today continued with their ongoing agitation and staged protest inside Medical College Hostel Premises here.
Shouting anti-government slogans, large number of junior doctors this morning assembled in hostel premises and condemned government’s decision of taking action against 51 doctors.
‘’It is unfortunate that instead of deciding our fate, the government suspended the doctors and announced fresh recruitment,’’ Satish Parihar, a doctors' leader said.
He maintained that the protests would continue unless the government comes out with a concrete solution to their demands and if it failed, the agitation would be intensified after Darbar Move, which is scheduled to re-open in this winter capital on November 9.
The government system, however, for public healthcare remained paralysed on the consecutive 21st day today as junior doctors continued to stay away from work demanding immediate redressal of their ''long pending'' demands.
Work remained badly affected in the Government Medical College and Associated Hospitals here while the senior consultants were somehow managing the emergency services in the hospitals.
On the call of the Doctors Joint Action Committee (DJAC), Junior doctors across the state are on an indefinite strike since October 4 to press government for revision in their pay package.
