New Delhi: MCD doctors organise protest march over Salary Issue

New Delhi: Resident doctors working in various MCD hospitals across the capital have organised a protest march in participation with other MCD employees including nurses, paramedical staff, teachers and various other employees working with MCD. This comes after Municipal Corporation of Delhi has not paid salaries to its employees for the past three months and further disbursement is also seeming less likely owing to the answer of the authorities that MCD has run out of funds.

Speaking to Medical dialogues, Dr Ashish Jain, RDA President, Swami Dayanand Hospital said, " In the past one month, doctors of MCD are being made to move around in circles between the MCD authorities and the Delhi government. MCD has a response that they have run out of funds as the Delhi Government has not released sufficient funds to them, while the Delhi government has  response that it has already given the funds to the MCD, so how can they run out. We even went on a strike last month, but have only received false promises in return. We have even knocked the doors of the court as well as NHRC but are still waiting for a response."
