The state government should also implement the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission in order. Besides, the Contributory Pension Scheme should be replaced with the old pension scheme.
Reportedly team of the Service Doctors and Post Graduates Association has been coordinating on the matter and has till now collected signatures from 165 doctors at the Government Vellore Medical College Hospital, Adukkamparai, primary health centres and taluk-level government hospitals.
Madras Medical College and other doctors from Madurai have also been a part of the signature campaign earlier. In addition, service doctors and post graduates from other districts have also joined the brief signature movement.
