The agitating medicos remain defiant and have announced that they will challenge the ruling. The HC had termed the four-day-old strike as “illegal”.
Nearly 3,000 junior doctors working in the six government medical colleges of the state have submitted their resignations to the dean of their respective colleges, Madhya Pradesh Junior Doctors Association (MPJDA) president Dr Arvind Meena was quoted as saying by PTI.
The strike, which began on Monday, will continue till their demands are fulfilled, he said. The junior doctors have put forward multiple demands before the state government, including a hike in stipend and free treatment for them and their families if they contract the deadly coronavirus infection.
Meena said the state government has already cancelled their enrollment for the third year PG and therefore they won’t be able to sit for examinations.
He further informed the MPJDA will appeal against the HC judgement in the Supreme Court. Meena claimed members of the Medical Officers Association and the Federation of Resident Doctors Association will also join their agitation.
