Dharamshala: Following the footsteps of their counterparts at the Shimla Medical college, the resident doctors of Dr Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College (RPGMC) at Tanda observed two hours of ‘pen-down strike’ against the state government in demand of the abolition of bank guarantee policy.
Medical dialogues had earlier reported that in order to prevent doctors from joining private hospitals, the Himachal Pradesh government had made it mandatory for the MBBS doctors, willing to pursue MD/MS courses had to submit a bank guarantee bond of Rs 10 lakh.
The state government slashed the bond amount by half to Rs 5 lakh. This announcement was made by the Chief Minister while addressing the state assembly during budget session. He said that state cabinet decided to reduce bank guarantee by half in the meeting.
However, the government doctors demanded its full abolition of the medical bond policy for which they conducted several strikes.
