The Madhya Pradesh High Court intervened and directed the striking junior doctors in the state to resume their duties within 24 hours. However, the protesting medicos remained defiant and most of them resigned from their posts and announced that they would challenge the ruling.

Subsequently, the doctor called off their protest after the state's Medical Education Minister, Vishwas Sarang assured a 17 percent hike in stipend.

Now, the Government has come up with a notification revising the stipend per month. As per the notification, the stipend of Diploma or first-year PG medical students has been increased from Rs 55000 to Rs 5000 while the stipend of the Diploma or second year and the third year PG medicos have also been hiked by Rs 10000.
