Ahmedabad: As talks with the state government over their pending demands failed, the doctors of government-run medical colleges and Gujarat Medical and Education Research Society (GMERS) colleges have decided to resume their strike from January 16th.
Operating under the banner of Gujarat Medical Teachers Association (GMTA), the faculty members of colleges have been demanding higher non-practising allowance in line with the Seventh Pay Commission recommendations along with several other demands.
The doctors are also facing problems with their DA, promotion, and recruitment of permanent faculty members. GMTA demanded that medical college teachers should be allowed to continue the private practice after 10 years of regular service. GMTA referred to a government resolution of 2017 and sought an increase in the cap on the monthly salary.
