"As per the agreement government promise to execute all our demands. The only demand, to run hospitals in single shift, will be referred to chief minister and she will take a call on it," Dr Jagdish Modi, coordinator of ARISDA told DNA.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that Doctors had been on strike in response to the failed negotiations with the government with respect to the demands. Service doctors had submitted a set of 33 demands including the formation of a separate cadre for in-service doctors, Rs 10,000 grade pay benefit to doctors, rectification in salary discrepancy, housing facility and safety for all doctors. However, despite almost 6 rounds of negotiations with the state government, no conclusion was reached.
With doctors being on strike for a long period of a week, the state government had invoked RESMA and arrested as much as 14 doctors for not reporting on duty
