Gujarat: Medical teachers to go on indefinite strike from December 13
Advertisement
Ahmedabad: After organizing a 'Maha Rally' on December 4th to press for their long-pending demands, the doctors of Gujarat Medical Teachers Association (GMTA), the faculty members from six government colleges, and eight Gujarat Medical Education and Research Society (GMERS) colleges have now decided to go on infinite strike from December 13th.
The doctors started their agitation after the government denied to fulfill their demands of higher non-practicing allowance in line with the Seventh Pay Commission recommendations. Moreover, the doctors also protested against the recently implemented salary cut initiated by the government. GMTA took out rallies in different cities of the state on 4th December.
Gujarat Medical Teachers Association (GMTA) represents professors and lecturers of the six government medical colleges. Previously Medical Dialogues reported that the Vijay Rupani government had assured doctors that their demands would be met after which the doctors withdrew their previous state-wide agitation. However, the latest notification by the government on Non-Practicing Allowance on Monday had made it clear that these demands would not be met by the present government. The doctors are also facing problems with their DA, promotion, and recruitment of permanent faculty members.
