We will run parallel OPDs in the lawns of the hospitals to serve patients, they say
Perturbed over the Punjab government’s “indifferent attitude” towards their demands, doctors in the government hospitals have announced three-day strike from July 12. The doctors have been protesting against the State’s Sixth Pay Commission recommendations on delinking of Non-Practising Allowance (NPA) from the basic pay and reduction in the NPA from 25% to 20% among other demands. The call for strike has been given by the Joint Government Doctors Coordination Committee (JGDCC) which includes the Punjab Civil Medical Services Association (PCMSA), and supported by Punjab State Veterinary Officers Association (PSVOA), Punjab Dental Doctors Association, Homeopathic Doctors Association, Ayurvedic Doctors Association, Rural Medical Officers Association and Punjab Medical and Dental Teachers Association.More Related News
