Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that the senior resident doctors in Maharashtra have sought the Government's intervention for the regularisation of stipend payments, abolition of stipend disparity across BMC and DMER institutes, and framing official leave guidelines for senior residents. Writing to the Director of the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER), the doctors under the Maharashtra Senior Resident Doctor Association (MSRDA), which represents more than 5,000 doctors, have threatened to launch a state-wide agitation if their concerns are not addressed urgently.

"We write to you on behalf of the Maharashtra Senior Resident Doctor Association (MSRDA), a representative body of 5000 senior resident doctors in the state, with extreme anguish, frustration, and disbelief at the persistent neglect and apathy shown by DMER and the Government of Maharashtra towards the senior resident doctors—the very backbone of the state’s public healthcare and medical education system," the association mentioned in the letter addressed to the Director of DMER, Maharashtra.
