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.
