Delhi: RML, Safdarjung, LHMC Resident doctors observe solidarity protest for unpaid medicos
New Delhi: Resident doctors of three Centre-run hospitals here held symbolic protests on Tuesday to express solidarity with the agitating doctors of hospitals run by the North Delhi Municipal Corporation over non-payment of salary. Resident doctors of Safdarjung Hospital and RML Hospital sported black ribbons in protest, while medics at Lady Hardinge Medical College and Hospital observed a symbolic pen-down protest for two hours in all wards barring those dedicated for COVID-19 patients and emergency services.
Senior doctors at the North Delhi Municipal Corporation-run hospitals went on an indefinite strike on Tuesday, a day after they had gone on casual leave en masse over their pending salaries. "We strongly condemn the insensitive nature of competent authorities of the Hindu Rao Hospital, Kasturba Gandhi Hospital, and Rajan Babu TB Hospital and extend our support to our fellow resident doctors. In this COVID-19 pandemic, the least that can be done for frontline warriors is to pay their most deserving dues.
