The Hindu
Resident doctors have asked the administration to provide a stay facility around the hospital.
Scores of junior doctors, who work as frontline workers against the coronavirus pandemic at the Kashmir Valley’s main government-run tertiary care hospital, Shri Maharaja Hari Singh (SMHS) hospital, on Thursday accused the administration of failing to provide them any allowances, insurance cover or stay facility. Scores of medical interns, who were deployed for the COVID-19 duty, have sought the intervention of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and demanded that they also be given the recently announced extra allowance for the frontline workers in the Union Territory (UT), where resident doctors and medical officers were given ₹10,000 extra per month. “We have not been included in the allowance category despite being on the COVID-19 duty. This is injustice to us,” Dr. Tajamul Islam.
