New Delhi : Showing strong opposition to the recommendations of the 7th Pay commission for doctors and the growing discrepancies in the pay scales that are received by government doctors and private practitioners, Federation of Resident Doctor Association (FORDA) has called for a Capital Wide Medical Bandh on 26th May, 2016
It is reported that around 15000 resident doctors across all government hospitals under the banner of FORDA will refrain from duty to show their defiance for one day. At a press conference organised at RML Hospital today, Dr Pankaj Solanki, President FORDA told Medical Dialogues, " We have actually run from pillar to post asking for representation, while setting up the pay commission recommendations as well as its recent revision . But neither have we got any representation and on top of it, government has very callously ignored the needs and demands of the medical profession . The result is that government doctors are going to see their income fall in the face of rising prices and would be forced to move to the private sector for better remuneration."
If the 7th Pay commission recommendations come into force, Medical professionals working with the government are going to see a fall in their relative salaries as the NPA ( Non-Practicing Allowance) would have been reduced to 20% from the earlier 25%. Moreover there would be substantial fall in the calculations of their allowances such as HRA as the said NPA would no longer be considered a part of the basic pay for further calculations.
