The protesters alleged that around 1200 AYUSH doctors are working on a contractual basis on a lower salary and the government has announced the abolishment of the contractual recruitment system on the other hand.
The doctors further alleged that despite having a number of discussions, the government is not taking any efforts to fulfill their demands. They threatened of intensifying their protests if their demands are not met by the government.
